Abstract:
1. An imaging system for acquiring image data of a subject, comprising: an annular gantry enclosing an internal annular volume; a first source moveable within the internal annular volume; a second source moveable within the internal annular volume; a multi-row detector positioned within the internal annular volume and opposed to the first source to detect at least one pulse emitted by the first source and set a multi-row detector data based on the detected at least one pulse; a flat panel detector positioned within the internal annular volume and opposed to the second source to detect at least one pulse emitted by the second source and set a flat panel detector data based on the detected at least one pulse; and an image acquisition control module that sets a signal for the first source or the second source and determines only one of the multi-row detector and the flat panel detector to detect the at least one pulse emitted by the respective first source or second source.
