  • Patent number: 4247780
    Abstract: A system for reproducibly aiming an X-ray source array to provide substantial registration of exposure geometry through an organ or a portion of tissue from one examination to the next. The system derives functions or signals based on computer controlled X-ray source point geometries to create multiple images produced from known positions via a detector array which feeds this information to a computer image storage system and which provides for comparison of the detected signals with reference signals originally stored in a memory; the comparison yields correction signals which act to shift the X-ray raster toward restoration of the original effective geometry.
