摘要： A novel X-ray apparatus is provided for three-dimensional imaging and in particular for tomosynthesis examination, which includes an X-ray source having a focal spot, a collimator including a plurality of slits, a detector assembly including a plurality of line detectors corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of slits and an exposure volume arranged between the collimator and the detector assembly. The X-ray source, the collimator and the detector assembly are arranged in series, so that each line detector is aligned with the corresponding collimator slit and the focal spot, and is simultaneously displaceable by a scan motion relative to the exposure volume. The scan motion is primarily a rotation around a rotation axis arranged such that the detector assembly is situated essentially between the rotation axis and the X-ray source. Combined two and three-dimensional examination are also permitted according to the disclosed methods and apparatus.

摘要： An imaging system is based on in-line x-ray optics arranged in combination with an X-ray detector to detect radiation from radio-labeled substances within an object to be imaged. This arrangement will provide a nuclear imaging device with potentially orders of magnitude higher resolution and efficiency and it will moreover be relatively easy to align and to produce and assemble in large quantities.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method of detecting X-rays for obtaining improved radiographic images including a step of orienting a semiconductor radiation detector whose height is greater than its thickness. The orienting step comprises a selection of an acute angle between a direction of incident radiation and a side of said detector having said height such that said incident radiation mainly hit the side of said radiation detector. The hit area excludes at least a section between at least one edge of said detector and at least an active sensor area and that substantially all of the energy of the radiation is dissipated within the detector.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for detecting substantially the entire signal from a photon converting in a detector in an x-ray detecting arrangement (200, 300, 400), which results in charge-sharing, said arrangement comprising a number of spaced apart sensors (220, 320, 420), said detected photons indirectly creating an amount of free charges proportional to the photon energy. The method comprises the steps of arranging a blocking means (230, 330, 430) between said spaced apart sensors for stopping x-rays that will be incident close to edges of said sensors and will give rise to charge sharing between adjacent sensors. The blocking means comprises etched layers composed together to a blocking layer. The arrangement comprising said blocking means.

摘要： The current invention applies to photon counting silicon x-ray detectors with energy discriminating capabilities and applications in x-ray imaging systems. The overall image quality produced by such a system is improved by the presented novel methods for optimally using the energy information in Compton events and making selective use of counts induced from charges collected in neighboring pixels. The pile-up problem during high-flux imaging regimes is reduced by a novel method for signal reset, which improves the count efficiency by reducing the risk of losing event due to signal pile-up in the read out electronics chain.
