Abstract
A computed tomography (CT) imaging system is provided. The CT imaging system includes a gantry, rotatable about an axis of rotation. The CT imaging system also includes a table configured to move a subject to be imaged into and out of a bore of the gantry. The CT imaging system further includes a radiation source mounted on the gantry and configured to emit an X-ray beam. The CT imaging system even further includes one or more detectors configured to detect the emitted X-ray beam, wherein the one or more detectors comprises a flat panel detector disposed within the table, wherein the table is configured to move the flat panel detector into and out of the bore. The CT imaging system is configured to generate a two-dimensional image of the subject utilizing the radiation source and the flat panel detector.
