摘要： A CT detector includes a first detector configured to convert radiographic energy to electrical signals representative of energy sensitive radiographic data and a second detector configured to convert radiographic energy to electrical signals representative of energy sensitive radiographic data and positioned to receive x-rays that pass through the first detector. A logic controller is electrically connected to the first detector and the second detector and is configured to receive a logic output signal from the second detector indicative of an amount of a saturation level of the first detector, compare the logic output signal to a threshold value, and output, based on the comparison, electrical signals from the first detector, the second detector, or a combination thereof to an image chain.

摘要： A method for calibrating and reconstructing material density images in a dual-spectral computed tomography (CT) system 100 is disclosed. An X-ray source in the CT system 100 emits a first X-ray spectrum and a second X-ray spectrum towards an object. The method includes computing calibration coefficients by using projection data from the object for the two X-ray spectra and by linearizing at least two basis materials such as bone and water simultaneously. Further, basis materials decomposition coefficients for the at least two basis materials are computed by linearizing the basis materials individually. Correction values for the projection data and for the basis materials are then computed by using the basis materials decomposition coefficients and the calibration coefficients. The computed correction values are used in reconstructing material density images for the basis materials.

摘要： Configurations for stationary imaging systems are provided. The configurations may include combinations of various types of distributed sources of X-ray radiation, which generally include addressable emitter elements which may be triggered for emission in desired sequences and combinations. The sources may be ring-like, partial ring-like, or line-like (typically along a Z-axis), and so forth. Combinations of these are envisaged. Corresponding detectors may also be full ring detectors or partial ring detectors associated with the sources to provide sufficient coverage of imaging volumes and to provide the desired mathematical completeness of the collected data.
