    摘要: A multiple mode digital X-ray imaging system providing for preprocessing “binning” of analog pixel signals from a detector array by selectively summing, within the detector array, adjacent pixel charges on a row-by-row basis and selectively summing, within detector array readout circuits, the previously summed pixel charges (by rows) on a column-by-column basis. An array, or mapping, of “defective pixel” flags is used to identify defective pixels within the detector array, with such flags being added to, or inserted into, the incoming data stream for dynamic processing along with the incoming pixel data. A buffer and filter is used to perform still image capture during the radiographic mode of operation and to recursively filter incoming data frames during the fluoroscopic mode of operation by summing a scaled amount of pixel data from prior data frames with a scaled amount of incoming pixel data from the present data frame.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for increasing the accuracy of images obtained in radiation therapy apparatus, such as a computed tomography simulator which employs an image intensifier and a photodiode detector for converting light from the image intensifier to electrical signals for further processing. The method recognizes that a significant amount of crosstalk can exist in the image intensifier and photodiode detector chain and provides a series of steps for adjusting the electrical signals obtained from the photodiode detector to compensate for the crosstalk.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for improving the dynamic resolution of an imaging system. The method employs a dual sampling or exposure technique which samples light from an image intensifier over a long and a short sample interval. When the resulting measurement for the long sample interval exceeds a threshold level, the short sample interval measurement is used, multiplied by a scaling factor. Below the threshold the long sample interval is used.
