    摘要: The invention provides methods and apparatus for enhanced PCI and dual-use radiation imaging systems. In one implementation high resolution storage phosphor plate radiation detector (an area detector) is employed for conventional attenuation radiation imaging and/or PCI (including conventional PCI and coded aperture PCI). Slit and slot scan implementations for dual-use systems are introduced. Dedicated single and dual-use slit and slot scan system for conventional attenuation imaging and PCI are described that employ face-on or edge-on detectors. Slit and slot scan systems that employ area detectors are described. Edge-on, structured cell detector designs are described. Applications of edge-on structured cell detectors for CT, Nuclear Medicine, PET, and probe detectors are described.

    摘要: According to on embodiment, a photon counting CT apparatus includes a hybrid detector and processing circuitry. The hybrid detector includes CT detectors and PCCT detectors. The CT detectors output integral signals concerning the detected X-rays. The PCCT detectors output a count signal for each of a plurality of energy bands concerning the detected X-rays. The processing circuitry estimate a count signal concerning an estimation target CT detector of the CT detectors based on an integral signal output from the estimation target CT detector and a count signal output from the PCCT detector. And the processing circuitry reconstruct an image based on the estimated count signal and the count signal.
