Abstract: Disclosed is an armored cable assembly which may include a plurality of conductors and a metal sheath disposed over the plurality of conductors. The metal sheath may have a plurality of revolutions extending helically along a lengthwise axis, each of the plurality of revolutions including a first section having a curved profile, a second section extending from the first section, the second section having a planar profile, and a third section extending from the second section. The third section may include a free end angled towards an interior cavity of the metal sheath, the free end extending past a plane defined by a bottom most point of the first section of an adjacent revolution, the plane extending perpendicular to the second section.

Abstract: A method for reconstructing an image of an object includes scanning the object with a computed tomography (CT) system to obtain data, estimating a size of the object using the obtained data, using the estimated size of the object to perform scatter correction on the obtained data, and reconstructing an image using the scatter corrected data.
