摘要： A toroidal x-ray tube (I) is supported (II) for rotation about a horizontal axis (170) , translation along a vertical axis (172) , and translation along a horizontal axis (174) . The x-ray tube includes a toroidal housing (A) , an annular anode (B) , and a cathode (C) which rotates a beam of electrons around the annular anode. A plurality of parallel connected voltage sources (90₁, 90₂, ..., 90 n ) provide a sufficiently high bias voltage between the electron source and the anode that x-rays are generated. The x-ray beam passes through a compensator crystal (62) , an annular window (20) , a collimator (132) , through a subject received in a central bore (26) of the x-ray tube, and impacts an arc segment of radiation detectors (130) . The x-ray detectors are stationarily mounted outside of the plane of the annular window (FIGURES 2 and 7), nutate into the plane of the windows opposite of the origin of the x-ray beam (FIGURE 6), rotate in part (FIGURE 9) or rotate in full (FIGURE 8). Angular position monitors (58, 154) determine the angular position of the cathode assembly, hence the x-ray beam, and the angular position of the detectors in the rotating detector embodiment.

摘要： A radiation imaging apparatus and method e.g. for computed tomography x-ray.imaging employing a radiation detector which enhances the detector output due to lower energy components of the incident radiation. One embodiment includes first and second layers (190, 192) of crystalline scintillation material mutually aligned in a path of x-rays to be detected, to receive the x-rays in sequence. The layer (190) upstream in the x-ray path comprises a scintillation material having a relatively high efficiency for converting x-ray energy to light. The downstream layer (192) comprises a scintillation material having a relatively lower efficiency for x-ray/light conversion. A photodiode (198) is positioned to view both scintillation layers (190, 192) simultaneously and to respond to scintillations in either or both. Scintillation crystal material surfaces can be coated with reflective material (194) to enhance the effects of their scintillations. The photodiode (198) thus combines x-ray indicating scintillations from both crystals while in analog form. Another embodiment comprises a photodiode and an optically coupled scintillation crystal, with the photodiode upstream in the x-ray beam path relative to the crystal (Fig. 4).

摘要： A source (A) of images produces a plurality of basis images (lo, l 1 , 1 2 , 1 3 ....). Two of the basis images are subtracted and divided (70, 72) by a number of interpolation increments (Li) to form a first differential image (l Δ1 ). The first and the third basis images are subtracted and divided (76, 78) by a number of available interpolation increments (L 2 ) to form a second differential image (I Δ2 ). Four differential images are selectively combined and divided by a product of the first and second available increments to form a second order differential image (1 2 A12 ). An array of adders (D) selectively adds the first differential image to a currently displayed image stored in an image memory E each time a track ball (104) moves a cursor one increment in a horizontal position. Each time the track ball moves the cursor one increment up or down along the vertical column, the adder array adds or subtracts the second differential image to the currently displayed image. Each time the track ball steps the cursor between rows or between columns, the second order differential image is used to correct one of the first and second differential images. In this manner, only the currently displayed image, the first differential image, the second differential image, and the second order differential image need be stored to provide free interpolation among four basis images.

摘要： @ A method and apparatus for obtaining shadowgraph images suitable for use in computed tomography scanner apparatus for subject localization. A source (20) of radiation that orbits the subject during a normal computed tomography scan is fixed relative an array of radiation detectors (28). The subject is then moved in a direction generally perpendicular to the plane of source (20) and array (28) to obtain a first shadowgraph data set. The source (20) is then orbited a small amount and the subject is again moved relative the source (20) and detector array - (28) to obtain a second shadowgraph set of data. The two sets of data are then interleaved to obtain a shadowgraph image having higher resolution than either the first or second shadowgraph.

摘要： An x-ray source (30) transmits a beam of x-rays through an examination region (E). A receiver (28), in an initial spatial orientation relative to the source (30), receives the beam and generates a view of image data indicative of the intensity of the beam received. A sensor such as an accelerometer detects motion in a selected portion of a mechanical structure (M) supporting the source (30) and the receiver (28). Upon detection of motion, the sensor generates a motion signal. In one embodiment, a first accelerometer (40) is associated with the receiver (28) and a second accelerometer (42) is associated with the source (30). A position calculator mathematically calculates a position of both the source and receiver based on the acceleration data generated by the accelerometers. An image reconstruction processor receives the relative position data, electronically corrects for any misalignment or change in beam travel distance, and reconstructs the views into a volumetric image representation. In another embodiment, a processor compares the detected motion with a database loaded with an empirically determined vibration model. Based on this comparison the processor (110) then generates a cancellation signal, which controls an electromechanical actuator (106) which imparts an offsetting force or motion to the mechanical structure.

摘要： An x-ray radiation stabilization system is provided including an x-ray tube (20) which emits x-ray radiation (22) . The x-ray tube (20) has an anode (52) , a cathode (50) , and a vacuum envelope (54) which houses the anode (52) and the cathode (50) . A high-voltage generator (40) is connected to the x-ray tube (20) . It supplies a high-voltage electric potential between the cathode (50) and anode (52) such that an electron beam flows therebetween. The electron beam strikes the anode (52) producing the x-ray radiation (22) . A reference radiation detector (60) samples a representative portion of the x-ray radiation (22) emitted by the x-ray tube (20) and generates a signal in response to an intensity of the sampled x-ray radiation (22) . A feedback circuit (80) is connected between the reference radiation detector (60) and the high-voltage generator (40) . The feedback circuit (80) generates an error signal and in response thereto directs the high-voltage generator (40) to adjust the high-voltage electric potential supplied to the x-ray tube (20) so that in the x-ray radiation (22) ripple having a predetermined frequency range is substantially cancelled.
