    摘要: A radiation detector and a method are for synchronized radiation detection. The radiation detector has a two-dimensional arrangement of radiation sensors using APS technology, and evaluation electronics with an input for a synchronization signal. The evaluation electronics have two or more free-running current/frequency converters for conversion of analog signals from the radiation sensors to digital signals. A correction unit is also provided for correction of errors in the digital signals which are caused by time discrepancies in a nominal time period, which is predetermined by the synchronization signal, for detection of the radiation from conversion events of the free-running current/frequency converters. The radiation detector can be produced at low cost, and allows simplified and scalable modular construction.

    摘要: A method is proposed for producing an anti-scatter grid or collimator for a radiation type, which is formed from at least one base body of prescribable geometry having transmission channels or slits for primary radiation of the radiation type which extend between two opposite surfaces of the base body. The base body is formed from a structural material that strongly absorbs the radiation type, either using the injection molding technique or by way of the technique of stereolithography. The method can be used to produce an anti-scatter grid or collimator with high accuracy and with the aid of only a few steps.

    摘要: A method is for operation of a counting radiation detector, in particular of a counting X-ray detector, with improved linearity, in which each detector element of the counting radiation detector supplies counting pulses at counting rates as a function of a number of radiation quanta which occur per unit time during operation. In the method, the counting rates which are supplied from each detector element or from subsections of the detector element are converted via a functional relationship to actual counting rates or are multiplied by correction factors which are dependent on the magnitude of the counting rates. The correction factors are determined in advance for the respective detector element or for the subsections of it, and any discrepancy (which occurs as a result of a dead time of the detector element, for example) in the counting rates is corrected from the actual number of radiation quanta which arrive per unit time. The method allows the linearity of counting radiation detectors to be improved, particularly at high radiation intensities, so that the linearity condition for X-ray CT systems is also satisfied.

    摘要: A detector module is for CT and/or PET and/or SPECT examinations, and includes a number of measuring channels. Each measuring channel includes a direct converter for directly converting incident measuring radiation into analog electric signals, a pulse generator connected to the direct converter, for generating counting pulses as a function of the received electric signals, and a counting device that counts the received counting pulses over a prescribable time period and outputs the result. Arranged between the counting device and the pulse generator is an externally drivable changeover unit that can be used to switch over between the counting device and an event detector that registers and outputs for each received counting pulse the time and the associated measuring channel or an item of location information assigned to this measuring channel. The present detector module is of simple design.

    摘要: In a method for recording a magnetic resonance image with a magnetic resonance device, in which several projection image data records are recorded in succession with different gradient orientations, from which, through back projection, the magnetic resonance image is reconstructed, the recording of a projection data record in a recording time frame proceeds with a temporal frequency modulated excitation pulse of a pulse duration, wherein, through the frequency modulation of the excitation pulse, all spins to be recorded within the scope of the projection data record are excited in a temporal sequence and wherein the frequency modulation function describing the frequency modulation during the pulse duration exhibits at least one maximum and/or at least one minimum. During the excitation duration, a time-resolved reception signal is detected. The projection data record is determined from the reception signal through evaluation.

    摘要: In a method and apparatus for the correction of artifacts in magnetic resonance images (MR) acquired with an MR pulse sequence in which gradients are switched simultaneously during the radiation of at least one non-selective excitation pulse, measurement data acquired with the pulse sequence in k-space are loaded into a processor, in which a perturbation matrix is determined on the basis of spatial and k-space point data of the acquired measurement data and the gradients used during the excitation. A corrected image is calculated from the acquired measurement data in k-space and the perturbation matrix, with the calculation of the corrected image including a matrix inversion of the perturbation matrix. The corrected image is then stored or displayed.
