In this paper, we describe a method to enlarge the field-ofview of those scan modes by rotating the detector such that instead of the detector width the diagonal of the detector limits the lateral field-of-view for a Short and two Large Volume Scan trajectories. After implementation of the modifications we obtain a gain of 25.8% in field-of-view diameter accompanied by a simultaneous loss of height of about 50 %. The coverage is increased by 20% for the Short Scan and by 16.7% for the Large Volume Scans. After introducing a detector shift trade-off we still increase the coverage field-of-view width while compensating the axial loss. Also a reduced source-to-detector distance has been investigated, which further increases the coverage. Finally, a Helical Large Volume Scan trajectory was simulated leading to the same width gain and coverage but increasing the height by 20.8% for the maximal shift and 33.3% for the trade-off version in comparison to a standard Large Volume Scan.
