Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging system from which artifacts are further eliminated. SOLUTION: The imaging system includes a gantry rotating around an object on a table. A cathode emitter is coupled to the gantry and generates an electron beam. An anode, also coupled to the gantry, is stationary with respect to the cathode emitter and generates an X-ray flux in response to the electron beam. A detector is coupled to the gantry and is adapted to receive the X-ray flux and generate therefrom a detection signal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
