  • We introduce an ultrahigh-resolution (50μm\) robotic micro-CT design for localized imaging of carotid plaques using robotic arms, cutting-edge detector, and machine learning technologies. To combat geometric error-induced artifacts in interior CT scans, we propose a data-driven geometry estimation method that maximizes the consistency between projection data and the reprojection counterparts of a reconstructed volume. Particularly, we use a normalized cross correlation metric to overcome the projection truncation effect. Our approach is validated on a robotic CT scan of a sacrificed mouse and a micro-CT phantom scan, both producing sharper images with finer details than that prior correction.
