摘要： A multi-slice X-ray CT scanner is provided to realize high resolution and a wide scanned region in a slice-thickness direction for an object. In the X-ray CT scanner, an X-ray beam for slice imaging is radiated toward an object and scanned in a predetermined slice-thickness direction, a direction orthogonal to the slice-thickness direction being defined as a channel direction. The scanner comprises a two-dimensional X-ray detector, a data acquisition system, and an electrically combining unit. The detector has a plurality of X-ray detecting elements arranged in a two-dimensional array of both rows in the slice-thickness direction and columns in the channel direction, the detecting elements of each row being arranged in unequal pitches. The data acquisition system has a plurality of data acquiring elements arranged in a two-dimensional array of rows and columns, acquiring signals detected by the two-dimensional X-ray detector, and producing digital data proportional to the detected signals. The electrically combining unit electrically combines more than two columns of all the columns in the array of the X-ray detecting elements into at least two columns of all the columns in the array of the data acquiring elements in accordance with a given slice imaging condition. For example, each row of the array of the data acquiring elements are less in number of elements than each row of the array of the X-ray detecting elements.

摘要： A method, system, and computer-readable medium that can resolve continuous and/or relatively rapid changes with time of a volume V without deterioration in image quality. In one embodiment of this invention, a subset of the projection data collected along a continuous circular orbit is combined with projection data collected along a different orbit to reconstruct the volume V substantially as it was when the subset of the projection data was collected. In one embodiment, the different orbit is a linear or a helical orbit. Further, staggered subsets of the projection data collected along a continuous circular orbit can also be used, as can further projection data collected along a linear orbit to resolve continuous and/or relatively rapid changes of a volume V.

摘要： An X-ray CT scanner for producing a CT image of a subject by scanning an X-ray fan beam radiated an X-ray source through the subject in a predetermined slice-thickness direction. The scanner comprises a main detector detecting the X-ray beam to produce an X-ray transmission data of a subject and to a plurality of slices in agreement with unequal segment pitches. The detector comprises a two-dimensional array consisting of a plurality of X-ray detecting elements receiving the X-ray beam and being disposed in the slice-thickness direction as a row line and a channel direction as a column line. The X-ray detection sensitivity distributions of all the segments formed by the detecting elements disposed in predetermined element pitches in the slice-thickness direction are adjusted to be uniform or approximately uniform by controlling various members, devices, or factors which are all controllable for X-ray detection sensitivity, thereby enabling the X-ray transmission data of unequal slice thicknesses to be adjusted in sensitivity slice by slice in the detector. The scanner further comprises a switch group selecting and combining the sensitivity-adjusted X-ray transmission data of the plurality of slices, the selected and combined X-ray transmission data being provided to selected ones of a data acquiring elements of a data acquisition system.

摘要： An X-ray computer tomography apparatus includes an X-ray tube, a two-dimensional array type X-ray detector, a rotating mechanism, a pair of collimators, a collimator moving mechanism which separately moves the pair of collimators in a direction almost parallel to a rotation axis, a reconstruction processing unit which reconstructs image data in a reconstruction range, and a collimator control unit. The collimator control unit controls the position of each collimator in accordance with the distance between an X-ray central plane corresponding to a cone angle 0° and an end face of the reconstruction range. The collimator moving mechanism moves each of the pair of collimators in the range from the outermost position corresponding to the maximum cone angle to the innermost position offset from a position corresponding to a cone angle of nearly 0° to the opposite side.

摘要： The angle of each collimator plate with respect to an X-ray focal point is determined by fitting the collimator plate in grooves formed in upper and lower supports each having an integral structure. In addition, the warpage of each collimator plate is corrected and its flatness is maintained by fitting the periphery of the collimator plate which is on the X-ray detector side in a corresponding groove of an abutment plate provided on the X-ray detection surface side of the upper and lower supports. Furthermore, each collimator plate is supported by the corresponding grooves of the upper and lower supports and the corresponding groove of the abutment plate at least three sides.

摘要： A throttle device for an internal-combustion engine, in which, on one surface of a throttle body side wall is formed a mounting space for mounting a reduction gear mechanism which transmits the power of a motor to a throttle valve shaft; and a throttle sensor for detecting the throttle valve opening is built inside of the gear cover covering the mounting space, and is covered with a sensor cover. A shaft hole of a rotor of the throttle sensor is exposed out through the sensor cover. When the gear cover is attached to the side wall of the throttle body, one end of the throttle valve shaft fits in the rotor shaft hole by elastically deforming a fitting spring inserted in the shaft hole, thereby enabling downsizing, weight reduction, and simplification of assembly and wiring harness of the electronically controlled throttle device, and realization of stabilized operation and improved accuracy of the throttle sensor.
