Fan-beam CT is a type of CT scanning method in which X-rays irradiated in a fan shape are imaged by a line sensor or X-ray flat panel and processed using a computer. It is often compared to cone-beam CT. It provides CT data with fewer artifacts than cone-beam CT, but it takes longer to obtain multi-layered CT data.
