Abstract
A Computerized Tomographic (CT) helical scanner system including multiple, separate x-ray sources mounted on the same gantry, each irradiating different two-dimensional detectors at any given time to simultaneously acquire data from multiple slices and combining the data obtained from the multiple slices to provide images either of individual slices or combined slices.
