In one aspect, a method for producing an image of an object utilizing a computed tomography imaging system includes axially scanning an object utilizing the CT imaging system to obtain more than 180\xb0 of projection data of the object. Accordingly, the set of images can be compressed in an efficient way, preserving the quality of the shoot using the focus chosen by the photographer. To ensure the integrity and reliability of the trunked radio system, the transmission of these parasitic data packets is preempted when the system is required to transmit signals between users of the trunked radio system.
