During the scanning process, the X-ray source and the detector need to move from one side of the bed frame to the other side. Depending on the different scanning algorithms, the X-ray source and the detector can move at the same speed or at different speeds; when the movement range of the X-ray source is limited, control the collimation shutter to move to the specified position at the specified speed as needed to expand the scanning range.
