High-energy (megavoltage) X-ray imaging is widely used in industry (e.g., aerospace, construction, material sciences) as well as in health care (radiation therapy). One of the fundamental problems with megavoltage imaging is poor contrast and spatial

Variable Resolution X-ray (VRX) CT scanners allow imaging of different sized anatomy at the same proportional level of detail using the same device. For example, the same scanner can be used to image large animals such as dogs, and small ones, like m
