<p>An object (14) is positioned on an object support (16). A radiation source (10) projects a beam of radiation through a region of interest (12) of the object. A plurality of focal planes (F1, F2, ..., Fn) mark the centre of selected slice images through the region of interest, A gantry (20) rotates the radiation source (10) around a circular trajectory (22) as an encoder (26) monitors a radius (r) of the trajectory and an angular position (ϕ) of the radiation source (10) around the trajectory (22). A look-up table (40) is addressed with the selected focal plane(s) (F1, F2, ..., Fn) and (r,ϕ) to generate a correction or shift value (S1, ..., Sn) for each selected focal plane (F1, F2, ..., Fn). A flat panel detector (18) is read out a plurality of times to generate a plurality of electronic data views as the radiation source rotates. Each view is corrected with a corresponding correction or shift value and integrated in a summation circuit (50) with preceding views to generate an image representation of the slice(s) through the selected focal plane(s) (F1, F2, ..., Fn) or a 3D volume. The slice image or 3D volume image representation is converted into a human-readable display (56) substantially in real-time, e.g., each time a preselected number of views has been summed. <IMAGE></p> |
