    摘要: Radiation detectors (20) of a computed tomography scanner (10) each have a radiation receiving face (34) which is larger than a photosensitive face (30) of a photodiode (22). Lead wires (28) connect the ends of the diode photosensitive surface to terminals (26). A scintillation crystal (32) has an overhanging portion (38) which overhangs at least the interconnection between the lead wires and the photosensitive face to protect the adjoining areas of the photosensitive face fro incident radiation. This enables the radiation receiving surface to be larger than the photosensitive surface. The crystal is either undercut to define the overhanging area or a section of light pipe (60) is provided between the photosensitive surface and the crystal. Increasing the radiation receiving face decreases rotor ripple artifacts. Decreasing the photosensitive face area decreases diode capacitance and increases resistance which improves amplifier performance.

    摘要: A radiography apparatus (10) includes an x-ray tube (16), an off-focal radiation collimator (20), a shutter (22), and a primary beam defining collimator (24) between the x-ray tube and patient receiving region (14). The off-focal collimator is mounted within a collar (48) which surrounds an x-ray port (36) of the x-ray tube. The tube port is sealed from the atmosphere by an aluminum window (46). A plate (60) of a radiation blocking material is rotatably mounted by a bearing (70) within the collar closely adjacent the aluminum window. By rotating the moveable plate, radiation passing slots or portions (62, 64) of different sizes are selectively brought into alignment between a focal spot (34) of the x-ray tube and a radiation passing region or slot (52) of a stationary plate (50) at the distal end of the collar. The aligned slots block the passage of off-focal radiation. Rotating slots of different sizes into alignment changes the size or angle of the x-ray fan beam.

    摘要: A radiographic system comprising a source of penetrative radiation (10) and a detector (14) having a plurality of energy sensitive detector elements for producting electrical signals in repsonse to the radiation. Means are provided for actuating the source (10) so as to direct radiation through a subject (P) onto the detector (14). Means are also provided for moving the detector (14) relative to the subject (P) whilst exposing a number of detector elements to the radiation passing through the subject (P). Time delay and integrate circuitry is associated with the detector elements so as to operate on the signals produced by the elements so as to improve their signal to noise ratio. Imaging circuitry is provided for producing a representation of the internal structure of the subject corresponding to the pattern of radiation incident on the detector elements.

    摘要: A plurality of segmented radiation sensitive arrays (30) receive radiation, from a radiation source (16), which has transversed an examination region (14) of a computed tomography scanner (10). Each array (30) includes a plurality of columns (A,B,C) of radiation sensitive cells (A1....A24, B1....B24, C1....C24), e.g. photodiodes, which produce an electrical signal indicative of the intensity of radiation received. Within each of the columns, there are larger cells and smaller cells. The electrical signals from each of the plurality of cells (A1....A24 or B1....B24 or C1....C24) within each column (A or B or C) are serialised (34) and amplified (36a, 36a, 36c). Selected combinations of the electrical signals from the various columns (A,B,C) and larger and smaller elements within each column (A or B or C) are combined (46) and reconstructed (50) into an image representation (2) for display on a video monitor (52).
