摘要:
An X-ray CT apparatus according to the embodiments has a rotation base that includes a plurality of units, including an X-ray generator that irradiates a subject with X-rays, and an X-ray detector that detects X-rays transmitted through the subject. It also has a pathway that communicates between the X-ray detector and at least one other unit excluding the X-ray generator and the X-ray detector. It also has an air supplier that supplies air in the other units to the X-ray detector via the pathway. It also has a temperature measuring part that measures the temperature in the X-ray detector. It also has a controller that performs control of the air supplier based on the measured result from the temperature measuring part.

An X-ray CT apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray detector and a collimator unit. The X-ray detector detects X-rays that have passed through a subject. The collimator unit eliminates scattered radiation from X-rays that are incident on the X-ray detector. The collimator unit includes a plurality of collimator modules, a supporter, and a fixing unit. The plurality of collimator modules each includes a plurality of first collimator plates arranged in a grid along a channel direction and a slice direction that are orthogonal to each other. The supporter supports the collimator modules such that the collimator modules are aligned in a plurality of straight lines along the channel direction and in a plurality of straight lines along the slice direction. The fixing unit is provided to the supporter and fixes positions of the collimator modules in the channel direction and the slice direction.

摘要:
An X-ray detector of an X-ray CT apparatus has a plurality of collimators, a plurality of scintillators, a plurality of photodiodes and a light guide. The plurality of collimators collimate an X-ray. The plurality of scintillators respectively emit fluorescence based on the X-ray from the plurality of collimators. The plurality of photodiodes respectively convert the fluorescence from the plurality of scintillators into the electric signal. The light guide has such a shape as to guide the fluorescence emitted from the plurality of scintillators respectively to the plurality of photodiodes while focusing the fluorescence toward the plurality of photodiodes.
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 on at least three sides.

摘要:
An X-ray computed tomography apparatus of this invention includes a first data detecting system which includes a first X-ray tube and a first X-ray detector and a second data detecting system which includes a second X-ray tube and a second X-ray detector. A reconstructing unit reconstructs image data on the basis of the data detected by at least one of the first and second data detecting systems. A monitoring unit monitors the first data detecting system. In a period during which the first data detecting system is normal, data acquisition is performed by both the first and second data detecting systems. In a period during which the first data detecting system is faulty, data acquisition is performed by the second data detecting system alone.
