    摘要: At least one embodiment of the present application relates to a method and/or an apparatus for determining the concentration of a substance in a body material that is composed of two different material components in an unknown ratio. In an embodiment of the method, two computed tomography pictures from which two image data records are reconstructed are recorded in conjunction with two different spectral distributions of the x-radiation. The x-ray attenuation values for each voxel of the two image data records are decomposed into three material components. The decomposition is performed on the assumption that the x-ray attenuation value xM of the body material without the substance is composed of the x-ray attenuation values xM1, xM2 of the first and second material component in accordance with the following equation: xM=f*xM1+(1-f)*XM2, f being a volume fraction of the first material component in the body material. The concentration of the substance is then determined for each voxel of interest on the basis of the decomposition. The concentration can be determined reliably in a simple way with the aid of an embodiment of the present method and/or an embodiment of the associated apparatus.

    摘要: In at least one embodiment, two image data records of two computed tomography pictures of the object are provided that have been recorded in the context of a different spectral distribution of the X-radiation. For voxels of at least one interesting slice, there is calculated from the two image data records a ratio r that is yielded from measured or averaged X-ray attenuation values of the respective voxel or its environment in the context of the different spectral distributions of the X-radiation and prescribed X-ray attenuation values of soft tissue in the context of the different spectral distributions of the X-radiation according to a prescribed calculation rule. Upon overshooting of a threshold value for the ratio r the respective voxel is assigned either contrast agent or calcium-containing material as a function of the magnitude of r.

The catch or snap-in function can be cancelled without any mechanical auxiliary means when the respective plug-in module is to be replaced.

    摘要: At least one embodiment of the present application relates to a method and/or a device for automatically detecting chemical anomalies and/or salient features in soft tissue of an object area. In at least one embodiment of the method, two image data records of two computed tomography pictures of the object are provided which are recorded in the context of a different spectral distribution of the X-radiation. The following steps are carried out for each voxel of at least one interesting slice whose X-ray attenuation values are characteristic of soft tissue. Firstly, two X-ray attenuation values of the voxel, or two averaged X-ray attenuation values of the environment of the voxel are used to determine a data point of the voxel in a diagram in which the X-ray attenuation values are plotted against one another in the context of the two spectral distributions of the X-radiation. A perpendicular distance of the data point from a connecting straight line that connects prescribed data points for pure fat and for pure soft tissue in the diagram is then calculated. Finally, the voxel is marked and displayed with highlighting when its distance exceeds a prescribed threshold value for the distance. In at least one embodiment, at least one of the proposed method and the associated device enable chemical anomalies to be automatically detected on the basis of computed tomography.

    摘要: A compact arrangement for multipole, surge-protected surge arresters, including internally wired, encapsulated series gaps arranged essentially in parallel in a housing. The series gaps have opposite-lying, projecting contact surfaces connected to outer terminals and inner contact bars or bridges. An electronic control or trigger circuit is located on a wiring support. The housing includes dividing walls and has a trough shape, the resulting housing chambers accommodating the gaps and terminals. An insulating plate with openings into which spring contact elements are introduced is provided on the housing trough which opens upwards. Located above the insulating plate is the wiring. The spring contact elements create the electrical connection between contact points on the underside of the wiring support and the cover of one of the series gaps, respectively. Further, an encapsulated surge protector includes a series gap arrangement with two metallic main electrodes lying coaxially to each other and at least partially overlapping each other and having connections in opposite directions. The main electrodes form an arc chamber in conjunction with at least one insulation part. At least one of the main electrodes has an inner expansion chamber and a trigger electrode extending preferably radially or axially rotationally symmetrically is provided at least in the area of an outer insulation part.
