    摘要: Improved data converter circuitry for a CT data acquisition system is disclosed which makes use of a programmable gain amplifier whose gain is set according to the magnitude of a detector input signal by selecting one of several resistor voltage-divider paths at the input of a fixed gain amplifier. An auto-zero loop uses an integrating op-amp to provide periodic correction to offset voltage of the fixed gain amplifier. In a modified embodiment, an auto-zero loop is provided for correction of both the fixed gain amplifier and a serially-connected A/D converter.

    摘要: A scalable data acquisition system (SDAS) (42) that may be used in connection with both single slice and multislice imaging systems (10) is described. Generally, the SDAS (42) in configured for use in a computed tomography system (10) and converts the low level electrical current signal from the x-ray detector (18) to digital values for image reconstruction, display and archive. The SDAS (42) also includes an anti-alias filter for each cell prior to analog to digital conversion (ADC). More specifically, the analog current signals from the detector (18) are supplied to the SDAS input channels via shielded ribbon or flex cables (62). The cables (62) are connected to the SDAS (42) at the SDAS backplane (102). The SDAS Converter boards (104) are also plugged into the SDAS backplane (102).

    摘要: A data acquisition filter (19) for a dual beam CT machine uses two spectral filters (74,76) for alternately receiving the signal (64) from each detector (26) depending on the state of the x-ray beam (24). When one filter is filtering the detector signal, the other filter is in a "hold" state where its output and internal values are frozen. Each filter effectively filters only the signal occurring during one beam state without being effected by the signal occurring during the other beam state or by the passage of time during the other beam state The output of the filter in the holding state is constant and may be sampled at any time during this period.

    摘要: A cable for a computed tomography system is described. In one embodiment, the cable (60) electrically connects a detector module to a data acquisition system. The cable (60) includes a conductor layer, an insulating layer and a shield layer (68) having a thermal barrier (100). The thermal barrier (100) reduces the amount of heat which is transferred from the data acquisition system to the detector module.
