Abstract:
A CT machine for scanning a stationary patient may provide for two-bar linkage articulated arms to move a CT gantry in an arbitrary trajectory. In one embodiment, the gantry may fit within a cavity to expose a central platform, which may support a patient for vertical scans in which the gantry housing rises from the cavity after the patient is so positioned.

Abstract:
A device and method are provided for generating a three dimensional image of a volume of biological material. A plurality of layers of biological material are sequentially removed therefrom. Images of each layer of the biological sample are captured prior to removal. Each image includes information from a layer and from a portion of the biological material below the layer. The information from the layer is isolated from the portion of material below the layer for each image. The three dimensional image is generated from the isolated information of each layer.
