An apparatus for computed tomography (CT) imaging of a cyclically moving
organ includes a positional state monitor (24, 40) that monitors a
positional state of the cyclically moving organ such as the heart. A
cone-beam CT scanner (10) acquires image data at least within a plurality
of time windows. Each time window is centered about an occurrence of a
selected positional state of the organ. A window analyzer (38) selects a
data segment within each time window such that the data segments combine
to form a complete data set covering a selected angular range. A
reconstruction processor (44) reconstructs the selected data segments
into an image representation.
