Abstract:
A customizable and upgradable imaging system is provided. Imaging detector columns are installed in a gantry to receive imaging information about a subject. Imaging detector columns can extend and retract radially as well as be rotated orbitally around the gantry. The gantry can be partially populated with detector columns and the detector columns can be partially populated with detector elements.

Claim (Index 15):
A method comprising:\n attaching between five and nine imaging detector columns to a gantry, the gantry having a bore configured to accept a patient, the bore defining a circumference and a central axis extending along a center of the bore, the gantry configured to rotate about the center of the bore, each detector column comprising a detector arm and a detector head, each detector arm extending radially toward the center of the bore from the gantry, each detector head coupled to a corresponding detector arm and comprising at least one detector element, wherein each detector head is configured to be radially articulable toward and away from the center of the bore, and each detector head is configured to be pivotable with respect to the corresponding detector arm around a sweep pivot axis, each sweep pivot axis extending parallel to the central axis extending along the center of the bore; independently controlling, with at least one processor, the between five and nine imaging detector columns to acquire imaging information with the detector elements; and reconstructing an image using the imaging information.
