Geometries of motion for tomosynthesis image acquisition: (a) Parallel-path motion, (b) partial isocentric motion, and (c) full isocentric motion. Parallel-path motion in (a) illustrates how objects in two planes (circle and triangle) are projected onto different locations in the image plane due to parallax as the tube moves.
