Abstract

We present three implementation strategies for cycloidal computed tomography. The latter refers to an imaging concept that enables the acquisition of highresolution tomograms in a flexible manner (e.g. with x-ray sources with a relatively large focal spot and detectors with relatively large pixels). In cycloidal computed tomography, the sample is rotated and laterally translated simultaneously; with this scheme, each sample feature follows a cycloidal trajectory. This has been shown to reduce scanning time and delivered dose, while maintaining a high resolution. The different ways of implementing this method are: step-and-shoot, continuous unidirectional and continuous back-and-forth translation. While step-andshoot acquisitions yields the best results and are easiest to implement, they are also the most time-consuming. The continuous unidirectional method can be implemented with little effort and gives results comparable to step-and-shoot. Finally, back-and-forth scans can be implemented easily and provide similar results, although there appears to be a small loss in image quality. We present a comprehensive guide on using cycloidal sampling in practice.
