Claim:
1. A method for controlling limited-area computer tomography imaging, comprising: supporting an object to be imaged with at least two support elements adapted to support opposing sides of the object to be imaged; measuring a distance across the object to be imaged; determining reference location data of the object to be imaged at least in part from the measured distance; obtaining location data of a first imaging object within the object to be imaged; determining a location of the first imaging object based upon the location data of the first imaging object in relation to the reference location data; computer tomography imaging a first imaging area about the first imaging object; determining location data of a second imaging object based on the location data of the first imaging object and the reference location data; computer tomography imaging a second imaging area about the second imaging object.
