摘要: When performing nuclear (e.g., SPECT or PET) and CT scans on a patient, an imaging system (10) includes three or more carbon nanotube x-ray sources (20) are circumferentially spaced along an arc of a rotatable gantry (16) that spans a distance larger than a maximum cross-sectional dimension of a section of a patient (14) to be imaged. The x-ray sources are sequentially pulsed to emit x-rays for scanning a section of a patient (14) including a volume of interest (VOI) (13). Only one source (20) is in an ON state at a time to create a duty cycle, which reduces cooling time for the respective sources as well as radiation dose to the subject. X-rays traversing the patient (14) are received at a flat panel x-ray detector (22) that has a width smaller than the maximum cross-sectional dimesion, which further reduces the weight and size of the system (10).

摘要: The invention relates to an X-ray detector with detector elements (1) arranged in a layer. The detector elements (1) contain a scintillator element (2) for the conversion of X-rays (X) into photons (v), a photodiode (5) for detection of the photons (v), and a processing circuit (4) for the processing of electric signals generated by the photodiode (5). In order to protect the electronics (4) from X-rays a shielding (3) of variable effective thickness (d1, d2) is disposed in front of the electronics (4). This shielding (3) can in particular be L-shaped. By reduction of the effective thickness of the shielding (3) to a necessary minimum the volume of the scintillator unit (2) can be maximized.

摘要: A matrix of light-sensitive or x-ray sensitive sensors (S.sub.1,1, . . . S.sub.2000,200) are arranged in rows and columns and generate charges in dependence on the amount of incident radiation. The sensors comprise a respective electric switch (3) and are constructed, like the electric switches (3), of thin-film technology. Each sensor row has a switching line (5, 6, . . . , 7) via which the switches can be activated so that the charges of the relevant activated sensor row are simultaneously output via read lines (8, 9, . . . , 10, . . . ). Transfer means convert the signals read in parallel into a serial output signal; in order to achieve an as favorable as possible noise behavior. An amplifier (11, 12, . . . , 13) is in each read line and is constructed as a silicon crystal and precedes the transfer means. During the read operations, the amplifiers simplify the signals read from the sensors (S.sub.1.1, . . . S.sub.2000,2000) connected to the relevant read line (8, 9, . . . , 10, . . . ).
