    摘要: The invention relates to a correction device for correcting energy-dependent projection values. A projection values providing unit (13) provides energy-dependent calibration projection values, which have been generated, during a calibration procedure, based on radiation, which has traversed a material and impinged on an energy-resolving detector (6), for a) different times after the intensity of the radiation has changed in the calibration procedure, b) different intensity changes and c) different materials and/or different material thicknesses. A transient behavior determination and correction unit (12) determines a transient behavior of the energy-resolving detector based on the energy-dependent calibration projection values and corrects energy-dependent actual projection values based on the determined transient behavior. The corrected energy-dependent actual projection values are less influenced or not influenced at all by the transient behavior of the energy-resolving detector, thereby improving the quality of the energy-dependent actual projection values.

    摘要: The invention relates to a system (31) for generating spectral computed tomography projection data. A spectral projection data generation device (6) comprising an energy-resolving detector generates spectral computed tomography projection databased on polychromatic radiation (4), which has been provided by a radiation device (2), after having traversed an examination zone (5), and a reference values generation device generates energy-dependent reference values based on radiation, which has not traversed the examination zone. A spectral parameter providing unit (12) provides a spectral parameter being indicative of a spectral property of the radiation device based on the energy-dependent reference values. In particular, spectral properties of the radiation device can be monitored over time, wherein this information can be used for, for instance, correcting the spectral computed tomography projection data, and/or, if undesired spectral properties of the radiation device are indicated, triggering a replacement of the radiation device.

    摘要: An imaging system (500) includes a focal spot (510) that rotates along a path around an examination region (506) and emits radiation. A collimator (512) collimates the radiation, producing a radiation beam (516) that traverses a field of view (520) of the examination region and a subject or object therein. A detector array (522), located opposite the radiation source, across the examination region, detects radiation traversing the field of view and produces a signal indicative of the detected radiation. A beam shaper (524), located between the radiation source and the collimator, rotates in coordination with the focal spot and defines an intensity profile of the radiation beam. The beam shaper includes a plurality of elongate x-ray absorbing elements (606) arranged parallel to each other along a transverse direction with respect to a direction of the beam, separated from each other by a plurality of material free regions (604).

    摘要: The present invention relates handling misalignment in an X-ray imaging system for differential phase contrast imaging. In order to provide a reduction for the pretuning and adjustment requirements for manufacture and maintenance in a differential phase contrast imaging system, an X-ray imaging system (10) for differential phase contrast imaging, is provided that comprises a differential phase contrast setup (12) with an X-ray source (14) and an X-ray detector (16), a grating arrangement (18) comprising a source grating (20), a phase grating (22) and an analyser grating (24), wherein the source grating is arranged between the X-ray source and the phase grating, and the analyser grating is arranged between the phase grating and the detector. Further, a moving arrangement for a relative movement between an object under examination and at least one of the gratings is provided, as well as a processing unit (32), and a translation arrangement (34) for translating the source grating. The phase grating, the analyser grating and the detector are provided as a rigid interferometer unit (36), in which the phase grating and the analyser grating are mounted in parallel to each other. The source grating is misaligned in respect to the interferometer unit such that moiré fringes are detectable in the plane of the detector. The processing unit is configured to detect moiré patterns in signals provided by the detector upon X-ray radiation. The processing unit is further configured to compute a translation signal (38) for translating the source grating for achieving a predetermined moiré pattern. The translation arrangement is configured to adjust the positioning of the source grating at least in the X-ray projection direction (30), based on the value of the translation signal.

    摘要: Phase stepping for differential phase contrast and/or dark field x-ray imaging using a switchable grating in which particles in a reservoir are aligned into wall-like x-ray absorbing structures by inducing a standing wave in a medium in the reservoir. The standing wave is modified by a second ultrasound generator that modifies the standing wave such that the pressure nodes of the first standing wave shift position.
