    摘要: An adaptive CT data acquisition system and technique is presented whereby radiation emitted for CT data acquisition is dynamically controlled to limit exposure to those detectors of a CT detector assembly that may be particularly susceptible to saturation during a given data acquisition. The data acquisition technique recognizes that for a given subject size and position that pre-subject filtering and collimating of a radiation beam may be insufficient to completely prevent detector saturation. Therefore, the present invention includes implementation of a number of CT data correction techniques for correcting otherwise unusable data of a saturated CT detector. These data correction techniques include a nearest neighbor correction, off-centered phantom correction, off-centered synthetic data correction, scout data correction, planar radiogram correction, and a number of others. The invention is applicable with energy discriminating CT systems as well as with conventional CT systems and other multi-energy CT systems, such as dual kVp-based systems.

    摘要: The invention is directed to an x-ray flux management device that adaptively attenuates an x-ray beam to limit the incident flux reaching a subject and radiographic detectors in potentially high-flux areas while not affecting the incident flux and detector measurements in low-flux regions. While the invention is particularly well-suited for CT, the invention is also applicable with other x-ray imaging systems. In addition to reducing the required detector system dynamic range, the present invention provides an added advantage of reducing radiation dose.

    摘要: A method for reconstructing images of a subject in a variable-angle helical-scan CT scanner including an X-ray tube, a detector array, and a bed, the method comprising: angling the translation axis and the rotation axis at an acute angle relative to one another; rotating the X-ray tube about the rotation axis while translating the bed along the translation axis through a plane of rotation of the tube, whereby the X-ray tube describes a helical path relative to the subject; acquiring first and second views of the subject at the same effective rotational angle about the axis of rotation, said views comprising X-ray attenuation data received from elements of the array; producing a planar corrected image slice by interpolation of the data in different views, wherein the data is generated by non-corresponding elements in the different views; and repeating the above steps at respective positions at a plurality of rotational angles of the X-ray tube.
