Summary: | A system for cone beam computed tomography of an extremity has an x-ray source and a digital radiographic detector both revolved about a central imaging axis so that the detector moves at least partially around a first extremity of a patient and, if the extremity is the leg of the patient, the detector moves between the legs of the patient. The detector path has a radial distance less than that of the source path. A housing that encloses the source and detector includes a pivoting door to allow sideways access for the patient's leg to be placed at the central imaging axis. |
