Claim One:
1. A system for motion control of a cone-beam tomography recording device, the cone-beam tomography recording device comprising a paired radiation source and radiation detector, the system comprising: a drive system configured to position the paired radiation source and radiation detector relative to an object to be imaged; a controller in communication with the drive system and configured to direct operation of the drive system, wherein the controller is operable to: initiate a trigger plan operable as a function of a control signal having a constant frequency; activate the paired radiation source and radiation detector in accordance with the trigger plan, wherein the radiation source is configured to broadcast a radiation signal, and wherein the radiation detector is configured to record the broadcast radiation signal; drive, in response to the trigger plan, the drive system to a steady operating state derived as a function of the constant frequency; capture a plurality of broadcast radiation signals representative of a plurality of two dimensional images of the object, wherein the plurality of two dimensional images are captured at substantially equidistant positions relative to the object as defined by the trigger plan and as a function of the control signal; and generate a three dimensional representation of the object based on the plurality of two dimensional images.
