Self-determined shot geometry for open-configuration portable x-ray computed tomography (CT)

A method for self-determination of shot geometry for use in open-configuration portable x-ray computed tomography (CT) includes inputting one or more x-ray shot images into a computing system. The method also include determining, by the computing system, one or more shot geometries from the one or more inputted x-ray shot images. The method further includes reconstructing, by the computing system, a volume image from the one or more inputted x-ray shot images and the one or more shot geometries. The method also includes outputting, by the computing system, a reconstructed volume image.
