    摘要: The brightness of an X-ray video image during fluorography is maintained at a substantially constant level by a control circuit which varies the X-ray dose in relation to changes in the average brightness of the X-ray image. Selected picture elements of the image which lie within a defined region in the image and which have a brightness above a given level are used to derive the average X-ray image brightness. The brightness of the selected picture elements are summed and the number of such picture elements counted. The summation of the brightness and the picture element count are both scaled by a factor of 2 n to reduce the size of the numbers and the complexity of the averaging circuitry. The scaled brightness summation is divided by the scaled picture element count and the result is stored as the average X-ray image brightness.

    摘要: The system comprises an x-ray source (12), a collimator and attenuator (16) an equalization detector (30) and a control circuit (40) which controls the collimater (16) in dependence on the detector (30). The equalization detector (30) detects the intensity of x-rays received via a patient (24) in various zones in the detector (30) and controls the collimator (16) so as to compress the dynamic range of the received x-rays into a range compatible with an image detector (34) such as a photographic film.

    摘要: An image detector (e.g. for X-ray images) includes an array of photodetectors (40,42,44) arranged in n rows and m columns with at least a portion of the photodetectors in each column being selectively connected to a common column output signal line (48⁻¹ - 48-m by a selector means. the image information is read out of the photodetectors by sequentially selecting groups of rows starting with a row near the middle of the array and then sequentially selecting other groups of rows on alternate sides of the array middle. As image data is read out of the photodetectors (40) in the selected row group, groups of column output lines (48) are coupled together to provide a combined output signal. This readout technique provides a reduction in the image data and reduces the likelihood of signal degradation for the central portion of the image.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for minimizing scatter in an X-ray imaging system of the type including a controllable source (50) of X-ray radiation and means for collimating the X-ray radiation into a fan-shaped beam and effecting scanning of the X-ray beam across a target area (60). The improved system includes a grid assembly (62) extending in a transverse direction across the target area and having a relatively narrow width in the beam scanning direction. A drive (74) is coupled to the grid removing the grid in synchronism with the X-­ray beam and an X-ray impervious belt (110) is coupled to the grid and extends in a transverse direction across the target area and is movable with the grid for covering the target area outside the grid to prevent scatter radiation from impinging on X-ray film (64) located beneath the grid. In one form, the grid includes a plurality of air interspersed septa to allow reduced beam energy. In another form, the X-ray beam is collimated into a point source by the use of an X-ray impervious disk (132) positioned adjacent to and overlaying an X-ray window (136) in the X-ray source.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing dual energy radiation images of a patient in a kinestatic charge detection system utilizes first and second kinestatic charge detectors commonly connected to apparatus for rotating the detectors about a radiation source at a predetermined velocity. The detectors are adjusted such that ion drift velocity in each detector is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the velocity of rotation of the detectors. The radiation from the radiation source is modulated such that relatively low average energy radiation impinging on the patient is received by the first detector and relatively high average energy radiation impinging on the patient is received by the second detector. As the radiation is scanned across the patient and received by the detectors, output data from each detector provides information representative of the intensity of radiation received during the scan. The output data is then combined by a imaging system to form a difference image.
