Patent number: 8559691Abstract: A method for radiographic imaging is described. Radiographic raw images of an object are generated by an imaging system comprising an X-ray source and an X-ray detector and moving along a given trajectory during an acquisition process of the radiographic images. During the generation of the radiographic raw images displacement data describing the displacement of the moving object are generated by means of a sensor arrangement and a control unit connected with the sensor arrangement. Finally views of the object are produced by image processing of the radiographic raw images in the control unit wherein the displacement data are used for compensating the motion of the object.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2009Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: CEFLA S.C.Inventors: Nunzio Alberto Borghese, Eros Nanni, Giuseppe Rotondo
