Chest digital tomosynthesis (DTS) with a wall mounted detector (a) and a portable bedside system (b). In both setups, a motorised X-ray tube moves on a (typically straight) path parallel to a stationary flat panel detector, producing several low dose posterior-anterior DTS projections. Next, coronal slices (dashed lines) are computed using a reconstruction algorithm. Note the reduced X-ray tube path length for the acquisition of portable anterior-posterior DTS projections of a bedridden supine patient in b
