An imaging system for acquiring image data of a subject , comprising: a gantry configured to at least partially surround an imaging region; a source assembly configured to be positioned relative to the imaging region at least in part by the gantry , wherein the source assembly includes at least a first source portion and a second source portion , wherein the first source portion is spaced a source distance away from the second source portion ; a single detector configured to be positioned relative to the imaging region at least in part by the gantry , wherein the detector is configured to be positioned to detect image data from both the first source portion and the second source portion substantially simultaneously; and a controller configured to execute instructions to: operate the first source portion and the second source portion to selectively emit the x-rays through the imaging region to be detected at the detector , generate image data based on the substantially simultaneously detection at the detector , wherein the source distance between the first source portion and the second source portion is configured to generate a first perspective and a second perspective in a single projection detected at the detector of an object within the imaging region, and the controller being further configured to generate a first perspective view of an object within the imaging region in the single projection and a second perspective view of the object within the imaging region in the single projection. a gantry configured to at least partially surround an imaging region; a source assembly configured to be positioned relative to the imaging region at least in part by the gantry , wherein the source assembly includes at least a first source portion and a second source portion , wherein the first source portion is spaced a source distance away from the second source portion ; a single detector configured to be positioned relative to the imaging region at least in part by the gantry , wherein the detector is configured to be positioned to detect image data from both the first source portion and the second source portion substantially simultaneously; and a controller configured to execute instructions to: operate the first source portion and the second source portion to selectively emit the x-rays through the imaging region to be detected at the detector , generate image data based on the substantially simultaneously detection at the detector , operate the first source portion and the second source portion to selectively emit the x-rays through the imaging region to be detected at the detector , generate image data based on the substantially simultaneously detection at the detector , wherein the source distance between the first source portion and the second source portion is configured to generate a first perspective and a second perspective in a single projection detected at the detector of an object within the imaging region, and the controller being further configured to generate a first perspective view of an object within the imaging region in the single projection and a second perspective view of the object within the imaging region in the single projection. <EOS>
