    Abstract: The leading edge of the plates employed in a high pressure gaseous xenon x-ray detector are tapered so as to be narrower along the edge of the plates nearest to the x-ray source. Xenon x-ray detectors produced in accordance with the present invention exhibit an increased quantum detection efficiency without a significant increase in noise due to microphonics.

    Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a flat radiation beam is detected having a common electrode disposed parallel to the beam plane at one side and a common support with a series of individual conductors providing electrodes opposite successive portions of the common electrode and lying in a plane also parallel to the beam plane. The beam may be fan-shaped and the individual electrodes may be aligned with respective ray paths separated by uniform angular increments in the beam plane. The individual conductors and the connection thereof to the exterior of the detector housing may be formed on an insulator which can be folded into a T-shape for leading the supply conductors for alternate individual conductors toward terminals at opposite sides of the chamber.

    Abstract: The chamber contains a first and a second measuring electrode and a third electrode. The first measuring electrode is essentially a first flat ring portion. The second measuring electrode comprises an inner circular area to the periphery of which a second flat ring portion adjoins in an electrically conducting manner. The first and the second measuring electrodes are arranged in a first plane. The first and the second ring portion are combined approximately 360.degree.. The third electrode is arranged in a second plane parallel to and spaced from the first plane. When ionizing radiation (X-rays, electrons) enters the space between the first and second measuring electrodes on the one side and the third electrode on the other side, electrical signals will be derived from said respective first and second electrode.

    Abstract: An ionization chamber for use in determining the spatial distribution of x-ray photons in computerized tomography systems comprises a plurality of substantially parallel, planar anodes separated by parallel, planar cathodes and enclosed in a gas of high atomic weight at a pressure from approximately 10 atmospheres to approximately 50 atmospheres. X-ray radiation enters the chamber through a thin conductive window disposed substantially perpendicular to the anodes and cathodes. A dielectric layer disposed on the inner surface of the window accumulates charge during x-ray irradiation to modify the electric field in the region between the anodes, cathodes, and window so as to permit the collection of electrons and ions produced by interactions in that region.In a preferred embodiment, a conductive electrode is placed on the inner surface of the dielectric layer and maintained at anode potential to modify and stabilize the electric field behind the window and thus stabilize the detector characteristics.

    Abstract: A device for measuring local X-ray absorption differences in a patient or other object has an array of ionization detector elements. Each detector element has a high voltage electrode. The high voltage source for each such electrode has associated with it an alternating voltage source in order to compensate for microphonic interference. The measuring circuit includes a demodulation compensation circuit for separation of the microphonic signal and for removing this interference from the measuring signal.

    Abstract: A technique for calibrating an ionization detector by simulating the presence of particles of combustion. In one embodiment a test probe is employed extending into the chamber. The probe may be partially conductive and partially non-conductive and be either rotatable or able to be withdrawn or partially withdrawn to vary ionization current. In another embodiment the source may be moveable to alter the ionization current. In still another embodiment there is provided the temporary distortion of one electrode to change the geometry of the chamber to thereby effect ionization.

    Abstract: The construction of a direct reading, ionization chamber dosimeter is almost exclusively of thermoplastic material. Except for an electrometer frame and switch contacts, the dosimeter comprises components of injection molded thermoplastic material. The dosimeter barrel and most of the structural components are made from either electrically conducting polycarbonate or non-conducting polycarbonate. Optical parts and lenses are formed from transparent plastic materials. The ionization chamber is made from polypropylene loaded with carbon black. The light-weight plastic construction of the dosimeter renders it relatively insensitive to mechanical shock and causes it to interact with ionizing radiation in a manner substantially similar to animal tissue or human flesh.

    Abstract: An axial tomography system is disclosed which includes an assembly rotatable about an axis extending along a central opening defined therein, and means for positioning the body portion to be examined within the central opening so that the axis of assembly rotation is perpendicular to a plane passing through the bodily structures to be examined. A source of penetrating radiation is mounted on the assembly toward one side thereof and provides radiation in the form of a fan beam. Means are provided for rotating the assembly so that the fan beam impinges upon said body portion at a plurality of incident directions. Detector means for the radiation are positioned on the assembly opposite the source, enabling detection of radiation which traverses laterally and is not absorbed in the thin body section in which the aforementioned plane resides. The detector means is preferably of the ionization type, and may comprise an array of side-by-side mutually insulated strip electrodes, spaced from a common high voltage electrode. The principal axis of each electrode is oriented along a radius extending toward the radiation source, and the ionization space between such strip and the common electrode can be regarded as defining a cell the principal axis of which is similarly oriented. Collimating means overlie the detector means and serve to assure that the radiation incident on each such cell is only that which has passed through an appropriate element of the body portion being examined.
