摘要: A modular X-ray source and method for replacement of such an X-ray source are disclosed. The source is inside a consumable modular enclosure where the entire assembly is swapped out during maintenance. The enclosure covers an X-ray tube, high voltage circuit boards 6 and cooling insulating oil are arranged inside the module enclosure. The enclosure structure includes an X-ray window, connector engagement alignment guide and electrical connectors. The modular X-ray source is used in a multiple source tomosynthesis imaging system where multiple pulsed X-ray sources are utilized. The easy replacement of X-ray tube assembly inside the consumable modular enclosure results in lower maintenance cost and overall reliable X-ray imaging machine. The modular source has potential to increase the machine volume in the field and create new standards for replaceable modular X-ray source.

摘要: A system and method for improved image acquisition of multiple pulsed X-ray source-in-motion tomosynthesis imaging apparatus by generating the electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform data using an ECG device. Once a representative cardiac cycle is determined, system will acquire images only at rest period of heart beat. Real time ECG waveform is used as ECG synchronization for image improvement. The imaging apparatus avoids ECG peak pulse for better chest, lung and breast imaging under influence of cardiac periodical motion. As a result, smoother data acquisition, much higher data quality can be achieved. The multiple pulsed X-ray source-in-motion tomosynthesis machine is with distributed multiple X-ray sources that is spanned at wide scan angle. At rest period of one heartbeat, multiple X-ray exposures are acquired from X-ray sources at different angles. The machine itself has capability to acquire as many as 60 actual projection images within about two seconds.

摘要: An X-ray imaging system with multiple pulsed X-ray source tubes in motion to perform highly efficient and ultrafast 3D radiography is presented. There are multiple X-ray tubes from pulsed sources mounted on a structure in motion to form an array of X-ray tubes. The tubes move simultaneously relative to an object on a pre-defined arc track at a constant speed as a group. Each individual X-ray tube in each individual source can also move rapidly around its static position in a small distance. When a tube has a speed that is equal to group speed but with opposite moving direction, the tube and X-ray flat panel detector are activated through an external exposure control unit so that the tube stay momentarily standstill. It results in much reduced travel distance for each X-ray source tube and much lighter load for motion system. 3D X-ray scan can cover much wider sweeping angle in much shorter time and image analysis can also be done in real time.

摘要: A C-Arm X-ray imaging system using multiple pulsed X-ray sources in motion to perform efficient and ultrafast 3D radiography is presented. X-ray sources mounted on a structure in motion to form an array. X-ray sources move simultaneously relative to an object on a pre-defined arc track at a constant speed as a group. Each individual source can also move rapidly around its static position in a small distance. When a source has a speed that is equal to group speed but with opposite moving direction, the source at one C-arm end and X-ray flat panel detector at other C-arm end are activated through an external exposure control unit so that source stay momentarily standstill. The C-arm provides 3D X-ray scan imaging over a wide sweep angle and in different position by rotation. The X-ray image can be analyzed by an artificial intelligence module for real-time diagnosis.

摘要: A transport system with curved track pair is constructed for multiple pulsed X-ray source-in-motion to perform fast digital tomosynthesis imaging. It includes a curved rigid track pair with predetermined curvature, a primary motor stage car loaded with X-ray sources and wheels loaded with tension or compression springs. The car is driven by primary motor mounted at base frame and an engaged gear mounted at the car. The car can carry heavy loads, travel with high precision and high repeatability at all installation orientations while motion vibration is minimal. It is also scalable to have a larger radius. Track angle span usually can be from about ten degrees to about 170 degrees. During imaging acquisition, X-ray sources can sweep precisely from one location to another. The car has enough clearance to move in its path without rubbing wheels on tracks. Better than 0.2 mm overall spatial precision can be achieved with the digital tomosynthesis imaging.

There are multiple pulsed X-ray sources mounted on a structure in motion to form an array of sources. The sources move simultaneously relative to an object on a predefined arc track at a constant speed as a group. Each individual X-ray source can move around its static position at a small distance. When an individual source has a speed equal to group speed, but with opposite moving direction, the individual source and detector are activated. This allows source to stay relatively standstill during activation. The operation results in reduced source travel distance for each individual source. 3D radiography image data can be acquired with much wider sweep angle in much shorter time, and image analysis can also be done in real-time.

摘要: An X-ray imaging system using multiple pulsed X-ray sources to perform highly efficient and ultrafast 3D radiography is presented. There are multiple pulsed X-ray sources mounted on a structure in motion to form an array of sources. The multiple X-ray sources move simultaneously relative to an object on a pre-defined arc track at a constant speed as a group. Electron beam inside each individual X-ray tube is deflected by magnetic or electrical field to move focal spot a small distance. When focal spot of an X-ray tube beam has a speed that is equal to group speed but with opposite moving direction, the X-ray source and X-ray flat panel detector are activated through an external exposure control unit so that source tube stay momentarily standstill equivalently. 3D scan can cover much wider sweep angle in much shorter time and image analysis can also be done in real-time.
