    摘要: A motion correction system and method for motion correction for an x-ray tube is presented. One embodiment of the motion correction system includes a sensing unit coupled to an x-ray tube to determine a distance with which an impingement location of an electron beam generated by the x-ray tube deviates from a determined location due to motion of the x-ray tube. The motion correction system further includes a control unit coupled to the sensing unit to generate a control signal corresponding to the distance with which the impingement location of the electron beam deviates. Also, the motion correction system includes a deflection unit coupled to the control unit to steer the electron beam to the determined location based on the generated control signal.

    摘要: A photodetector for X-ray applications includes a photodiode at each pixel location that is gated to reduce leakage of charge from the photodiode. A gate layer may be disposed around the entire peripheral edge of the detector, and maintained at a common potential with a contact layer, or at a different potential. A passivation or dielectric layer separates the gate layer from the photodiode. Leakage around the edge of the diode that can result from extended exposure to radiation is reduced by the gate layer.
