    摘要: An x-ray system (14) including a source of x-rays (15) and a detector (22) monitors the detector with a control (36) that calibrates the detector during a calibration phase of operation and powers the detector during use phases of operation occurring at different times. A processor (28, 36) reads the data created by the pixel elements, analyzes the data and identifies pixel elements corresponding to data indicating defective pixel elements during the calibration phase of operation and during a predetermined portion of a plurality of the use phases of operation.

    摘要: A method for minimizing motion artifacts in Dual Energy Subtraction digital radiographic imaging applications by minimizing the time lapse between the two x-ray exposure frames. This is accomplished by acquiring the two x-ray exposure frames relatively consecutively without a corresponding offset frame reading in-between the two x-ray frame exposures. Preferably, the offset frames are acquired following the x-ray exposure frames with a corresponding timing sequence which is correlated to the x-ray frame exposure and reading sequence. The method includes the steps of exposing a radiographic detector at a first energy level for a time period t1; reading the radiographic detector to obtain a first exposure reading; exposing the radiographic detector at a second energy level for a time period t2; reading the radiographic detector to obtain a second exposure reading; after a time period equal to t1, reading the radiographic detector to obtain an offset reading; and subtracting the offset reading from the first and second exposure readings.

    摘要: A position transmitter for acquiring the position of a light beam has at least one group of photodiodes arranged neighboring one another and fashioned strip-shaped such that at least two, typically 5-10, strip-shaped electrodes of a photodiode structure are at least partially covered by the light beam or particle beam whose position is to be acquired. An evaluation circuit measures the photocurrent or a correlated quantity of the individual strip electrodes and indicates the position of the beam on the basis of the distribution of the strengths of the photo currents.

M group associated data are being provided with n signal groups successively supplied to the m inputs of the read-out circuit. Every signal group is composed of m sensor signals that are simultaneously derived from the sensor elements having the same order and number within the individual groups.

    摘要: A highly blocking diode structure having a thin film a-Si:H (amorphous silicon containing hydrogen) layer, suitable for use in constructing image sensor arrays, has two conductive electrodes disposed on opposite sides of the a-Si:H thin film layer. The structure is constructed on an electrically insulating substrate and includes a barrier layer disposed between the a-Si:H layer and the top electrode. The top electrode may consist of indium tin oxide or of palladium silicide, and the barrier layer may consist of silicon oxide produced by converting the surface of the a-Si:H layer. The barrier layer is disposed on that side of the a-Si:H layer opposite the substrate. The barrier layer significantly improves the behavior of the contacts and the stability of the boundary surface between the a-Si:H layer and the transparent metal oxide comprising the electrode. The sequence for constructing the diode arrangement is considerably simplifed.
