CT System Introduction
Introduction
X-ray tube
Detector
The detector and X-ray tube are in a relatively static state, rotate the entire gantry to collect the X-ray data
passed through the patient's body, Different body tissues have different linear attenuation coefficients (μ
values), so that the X-ray data passed through the patient’s body can be used to calculated and
reconstructed for the final images.
CT Image generation
The X-ray projection data obtained by the detector is sent to the console
through the Slip Ring, the crude data will be reconstructed in the console,
and the final images will displayed.
CT Image generation
Properties:
•High detection efficiency
•High geometrical efficiency
•Small physical size of detector elements
1. Removes low energy (soft) x-rays that do not contribute to image formation but do increase patient dose.
2. Image reconstruction is based upon the assumption of a single energy, monochromatic beam.
