    摘要: A detector module is proposed for producing an X-ray detector for an X-ray computed tomograph. The module includes a number of detector units, each including sensor elements arranged next to one another in the z-direction and in a phi-direction running perpendicular thereto. The detector units are held on a carrier plate in the manner of a column extending in the z-direction. In order to ensure a precise alignment of the sensor elements, the detector units are positioned on the carrier plate via a collimator element.

    摘要: A detector bar, a detector formed from a number of detector bars, and a computed-tomography unit including such a detector is disclosed, each detector bar being formed from a number of individual modules. A detector bar has a module carrier for mechanically retaining the individual modules, and a printed circuit board, structurally separate from the module carrier, for making electric contact with the individual modules. The individual modules can thus be exchanged without disturbance, and simple aligning of the individual modules can thus be carried out while electric contact is simultaneously made.

    摘要: An imaging method and an apparatus for visualizing coronary heart diseases, in particular instances of myocardial infarction damage, are disclosed. The technique of computed tomography is used to record and reconstruct at least one image of the heart or a region of the heart, which image covers at least one part of the myocardium. Areas in the region of the myocardium that are defectively perfused and/or damaged are segmented by windowing measured data for the image or data derived therefrom, and displayed with identification in the image. It is thus possible, for example, to pictorially display the extent of the damage after a myocardial infarct.

    摘要: A method is for calibration of a transformation of at least two X-ray attenuation values (which are determined using different X-ray spectra) for a material, to a value for the density and a value for the atomic number of the material. A first distribution is recorded of first X-ray attenuation values obtained from a calibration phantom using a first X-ray spectrum, and a second distribution is recorded of second X-ray attenuation values obtained from the calibration phantom using a second X-ray spectrum. The recorded X-ray attenuation values are used to produce a density function and to produce an atomic number function. A value for the density and for the atomic number of the calibration sample is determined with the aid of the density function and the atomic number function, and a discrepancy between the determined values and the actual density and atomic number of the calibration sample is found. The discrepancy is used for producing a mapping rule which changes the values determined by the density function and the atomic number function to the actual values.

    摘要: A reconstruction method is used in computed tomography, wherein an examination object is scanned with a beam that rotates during scanning about a system axis. In the method, firstly the absorption coefficients of subvolumes relatively remote from the system axis are determined. Subsequently the absorption coefficients of the subvolumes situated relatively nearer to the system axis are determined iteratively, taking account of the absorption coefficients already calculated.

    摘要: A method and a device are proposed for determining the type of fluid in a fluid mass in an object. X-ray attenuation data is supplied from one or a plurality of X-ray recordings of an object area including the fluid mass in the object, which were acquired with at least two different X-ray spectra or detector weightings. The X-ray attenuation data is used to determine values for effective atomic number and density for the fluid mass and average these to obtain a mean value for effective atomic number and density for the fluid mass. Comparison data is also supplied, which indicates fluctuation ranges for combinations of effective atomic number and density for different types of fluid. The mean values for effective atomic number and density of the fluid mass are compared with the comparison data to determine the fluctuation range and thereby the type of fluid, into which the two mean values fall. The method and associated device can be used to determine the type of fluid in a fluid mass in an object in a reliable and unambiguous manner.
