    • Demonstrated that non-convex planar spirals can lead to non-unique PI lines.
    • Identified conditions (positive curvature, bounded angles) for unique PI line passage.
    • Showed that monotonically varying radii enlarge the region of unique PI line passage.

    Conclusions:

    • The geometric study provides a foundation for exact cone-beam reconstruction from variable radius spiral scans.
    • Ensuring positive curvature and bounded angles in planar spirals is crucial for unique PI line identification.
    • The findings are applicable to advanced spiral cone-beam CT imaging techniques.
