Traditional fan-beam CT uses a fan-shaped X-ray beam that is detected by a line-detector array (LDA). Fan-beam CT systems rotate the scanned object to produce a single cross-sectional slice, while vertical stitching or stacking of slices produces a 3D volume. Fan-beam CT systems are ideal for very large and dense parts, and for high-energy applications (≥320 kV).
