    摘要: A CT system in an example comprises one or more high frequency electromagnetic energy sources, a detection assembly, a data acquisition system (DAS), and a computer. The one or more high frequency electromagnetic energy sources emit one or more beams of high frequency electromagnetic energy toward an object to be imaged. The detection assembly is capable of measuring a plurality of projection data at a same projection path that corresponds to a plurality of distinct incident energy spectra. The detection assembly comprises one or more energy discriminating (ED) detectors and/or one or more energy integration (EI) detectors that receive high frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by the one or more high frequency electromagnetic energy sources. The data acquisition system (DAS) is operably connected to the one or more ED detectors and/or the one or more EI detectors. The computer is operably connected to the DAS.

    摘要: A system and method of a diagnostic imaging system includes a high frequency electromagnetic energy source that emits a beam of high frequency electromagnetic energy toward an object to be imaged, a detector that receives high frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by the high frequency electromagnetic energy source and attenuated by the object, a data acquisition system (DAS) operably connected to the detector, and a computer operably connected to the DAS.
