Abstract

CT system including: an X-ray source and an X-ray detector arranged opposite the X-ray source, wherein the X-ray detector and the X-ray source may be mutually rotated around at least one rotation center through a rotator, wherein the distances between the at least one rotation center and the X-ray source and between the at least one rotation center and the X-ray detector are different.
