A method for increasing the sampling frequency of digital X-ray systems is described. The method employs discrete, stepwise magnetic deflection of the focal spot and the recombination of the resulting displaced images. The technique was applied to a GE CT/T 8800 scanner operating in "Scout View" mode. The hardware and software modifications were minor. The transverse resolution was shown to improve from 0.63 to 0.9 line pairs per mm, using a test phantom. The effect of the improvement in resolution is also illustrated in the human. The possibility of further improving the resolution of the system is discussed.
