Curved-slit collimation for fan-beam-based virtual fluoroscopy

We have developed a framework for analyzing the amplification of localization errors in a rotating collimator with symmetrical spiral-slits, as well as criteria for measuring this amplification and bounds indicating their optimality. This framework can be reused to identify or compare slits under conditions of use different from those in our study.

Abstract

We have developed a framework for analyzing the amplification of localization errors in a rotating collimator with symmetrical spiral-slits, as well as criteria for measuring this amplification and bounds indicating their optimality. This framework can be reused to identify or compare slits under conditions of use different from those in our study.
