Innovation Summary: The SMART system uses 29 fixed source-detector pairs arranged on a circular track to perform real-time tomography without mechanical rotation. AI algorithms reconstruct high-resolution 3D images from simultaneous multi-angle data. This architecture improves temporal resolution and reduces wear compared to rotating systems. It is ideal for dynamic imaging and continuous monitoring.
Challenges / Opportunities: Traditional tomography systems rely on mechanical rotation, which limits speed and durability. This stationary design eliminates moving parts and enables faster imaging. It supports applications in emergency diagnostics, industrial inspection, and security screening. AI integration enhances image quality and adaptability.
