          Application No. 09/682,001                                                  

                                  APPENDIX (cont.)                                    
                    acquiring a second x-ray image with said detector                 
               while moving said detector in said second direction                    
               over a second detector scan range and moving said x-ray                
               tube in said first direction over a second tube scan                   
               range, said second x-ray image being acquired based on                 
               said scan parameters.                                                  
               10.  A method for displaying digital x-ray images in a                 
               multi-image format, said method comprising:                            
                    identifying scan parameters designating multiple                  
               slices of interest from a patient anatomy;                             
                    acquiring a series of images with a digital x-ray                 
               detector, each image in said series of images                          
               corresponding to a slice of interest;                                  
                    displaying images simultaneously as each image in                 
               said series of images is acquired; and                                 
                    after acquisition and simultaneous display of said                
               each image in said series of images, halting said                      
               acquiring step until reinitiated by an operator.
