In a scanning electron beam CT system, the electron beam is focused by controlling the distribution of beam-generated ions electrostatically. The upstream (self-expanding, de-focusing) beam region and downstream (converging, self-focusing) beam region are distinguished by the absence or presence of beam-generated positive ions. The relative lengths of these two beam regions are electrostatically c...

A CT apparatus (10) employing a cone beam of x-rays (14) reduces image artifacts by employing full as opposed to half scans of less than 360 DEG . The present invention recognizes that rays of a cone beam (14) that cross the imaging plane are not redundant with opposing rays in the scan, as is the case with the rays within the imaging plane. In a second embodiment, half scans of less than 360 DEG ...
