Data collection for computed tomography (CT), using a fan beam of radiation, is considered in detail. The manner in which the required projection data set is built up as scanning proceeds is demonstrated. It is shown that by offsetting the fan beam detector from its symmetrical position by a fraction of the element spacing, and by making measurements over 360 degrees, the spatial resolution of the detector may be increased by up to a factor of two. Results of simulations relating to an actual CT device under construction are presented.
