Section: claims

1. An X-ray micro-CT system with multiple sources for dynamic and volumetric imaging of small animals. 2. The system of  claim 1 , wherein filtered backprojection type reconstruction programs are used that make use of a generalized half-scan weighting scheme, such as what we described above or modified in the same spirit. claim 1 3. The system of  claim 2 , wherein dedicated hardware/workstation may be used for accelerated data preprocessing, image reconstruction and/or image visualization. claim 2 4. The system of  claim 3 , wherein any interventional procedure may be performed that is guided by the images observed or derived. claim 3 5. The system of  claim 4 , wherein advanced data acquisition components and/or systems are integrated for desirable imaging performance. claim 4 6. The system of  claim 5 , wherein Internet computing/communication techniques may be applied to enhance the overall utilities of the system. claim 5 7. The system of  claim 6 , wherein other relevant physiologic device and measures may be used in any synergic fashion. claim 6
