Physics and technical considerations in the design of the DSR: a high temporal resolution volume scanner.
A multiple x-ray source, high-speed, transaxial scanner system (DSR) is about to undergo evaluation studies. The capability for programmable scanning modes and operator-interactive retrospective reconfiguration of scan data makes the DSR a very powerful research tool. The physics and technological basis for system design and selection of several major components of the DSR scanner are discussed.
