Abstract

Methods and apparatus for calibration simplification in a computed tomography (CT) system are described. In one embodiment, the CT system utilizes calibration values from a first scan type, or mode of operation, to determine calibration values for at least a second scan type. As a result, the time required to perform calibration of the CT system is reduced.
