Conquest 100 Principles of Operation

2.4 Grid Scan Collection

A Conquest Grid Scan consists of collecting a series of parallel lines in both directions on a grid
(Figure 2-6). The lines labeled 1 to 7 are called "Numeric" lines, and lines labeled A to G are
called "Alpha" lines. The origin (0, 0) of the grid is located in the lower left corner; the
intersection of lines A and 1.
Figure 2-6: Grid Scans are based on collecting multiple line scans in two directions on a grid.
Once a grid is collected, the data can be processed to create a series of depth slices. Conquest
displays 1 inch (25mm) thick depth slice images moving through the data volume from top to
bottom (Figure 2-7).
