摘要:
With a pulse-height analyzer, a reference-pulse generator generates a reference pulse of a given pulse height for a given period of time when an analog radiation pulse inputted to a comparator is higher than an initial threshold. A capacitor and a resistor receive the reference pulse, and then increase an increment threshold for the given period of time from the initial threshold to the given pulse height. Then the increment threshold is set as a reference voltage of the comparator. A pulse time width of the analog radiation pulse is determined through measuring a period of time from timing where the analog radiation pulse exceeds the initial threshold to timing where the analog radiation pulse being attenuated falls below the increment threshold.

A radiation detector of this invention includes a pulse width modulation circuit for binarizing an analog electrical pulse outputted from a detector cell with a predetermined threshold, and modulating it into a digital electrical pulse, and a data superposer for outputting an incident position pulse train by superposing incident position pulses and concerning the position of the detector cell on which the radiation has fallen, and the digital electrical pulse detected by the radiation. Thus, position information which has conventionally been added after output of digital electrical pulse can be added into the digital electrical pulse. Therefore, compared with the conventional technique of adding position information after digital electrical pulse and transmitting the position information, the position of the radiation incident on the detector cell can be detected in a short time.

The disclosure has one object to provide a radiation tomography apparatus of a low price that facilitates a design change of a detector ring to suppress costs of development. The radiation tomography apparatus according to the disclosure includes a plurality of modules configured to receive detected data from different radiation detectors. Then, the modules each send and receive the detected data to and from one another, thereby sharing the detected data and counting the number of coincidence events. That is, when manufacturing radiation tomography apparatus, merely wiring the coincidence modules achieves implementation of the coincidence unit. This allows manufacturing the radiation tomography apparatus without new development of a substrate for performing coincidence. Consequently, the radiation tomography apparatus of a low price can be provided with suppressed costs of the development.

The limiter circuit of this invention is a limiter circuit which, by switching action of a pair of transistors, allows passage of only signal voltage components of an input signal voltage included in ranges of an upper limit signal voltage and a lower limit signal voltage. With this construction, the pair of transistors carry out comparisons between the input signal voltage and threshold signal voltages and line switching at the same time. Therefore, there is no influence of propagation delay speed, and no switching noise occurs at times of line switching. Since diodes are not used, a high-speed limiter circuit can be manufactured.

According to a spurious pulse generator of this invention, integrating circuits are provided at a plurality of stages for carrying out integrating operations about time and outputting a spurious pulse, the integrating circuits being constructed to input a voltage value for controlling a crest value which is a peak swing of the spurious pulse to an amplifier forming an integrating circuit at a most upstream stage when a switching element is ON, and to input a constant voltage value when the switching element is OFF. As a result, the voltage value before ON-state and after ON-state of the switching element does not change but remains a constant voltage value, thereby obtaining a desired spurious pulse.
