| 20120106696 | GRADED RESOLUTION FIELD OF VIEW CT SCANNER - A CT scanner comprising: a rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation: an X-ray source mounted to the rotor having a focal spot from which an X-ray beam emanates; an X-ray detector array comprising a plurality of X-ray detectors for detecting X-rays in the X-ray beam; wherein the detector array has at least one high resolution region in which detectors have a high packing density and at least one low resolution region in which detectors have a low packing density and are separated by X-ray insensitive regions substantially larger than insensitive regions resulting from septa between detectors that function to reduce detector cross talk. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20110194745 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRACKING FEATURE'S POSITION IN HUMAN BODY - A method for tracking position of a feature in a subject is provided comprising operating a CT scanner to generate and display CT images of a volume within the subject and operating the CT scanner to generate projection X-Ray images of the volume. The X-Ray images are responsive to X-Ray emitted by two X-Ray sources displaced from each other. The method further comprises generating and displaying stereoscopic images from said projection X-Ray images, wherein the stereoscopic images are spatially registered to the CT images. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110116697 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CALIBRATING CT IMAGES - A method of correcting CT numbers in image data includes selecting at least one reference region in a CT image, wherein the selected region is a region associated with substantially same CT number when no artifacts are present in the CT image, estimating artifacts in at least one other region of the CT image based at least in part on detected CT numbers in the at least one reference region, and correcting CT numbers in the at least one other region of the CT image based on the estimated artifacts. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110080992 | CONE-BEAM CT - An X-ray source system for a CT scanner includes a plurality of X-ray sources, wherein each X-ray source of the plurality is provided with a cathode from which an electron beam is emitted, an anode to receive the electron beam and at least one grid electrode, wherein the grid electrodes are configured to selectably block radiation from said X-ray sources; a high voltage generator for applying voltage to the plurality of X-ray sources, wherein each of the plurality of X-ray sources are configured to present substantially the same load to the high voltage generator; a grid modulator configured to apply voltage to grid electrodes of each of the plurality of X-ray sources in turn; and a controller for controlling the grid modulator so that only one of the plurality of X-ray sources emits radiation at any one time. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110033024 | CT CONE BEAM SCANNER - A CT scanner comprises at least one cone beam x-ray source assembly mounted on a gantry frame, the gantry frame rotatable about a rotation axis, the x-ray source assembly operable to emit a cone beam at an orientation with respect to the rotation axis, and a controller operable to adjust an orientation of the cone beam during a rotation cycle of the gantry, wherein the controller adjusts the orientation to radiate a substantially same volume of interest over the rotation cycle. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20100215142 | Graded resolution field of view ct scanner - A CT scanner comprising: a rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation: an X-ray source mounted to the rotor having a focal spot from which an X-ray beam emanates; an X-ray detector array comprising a plurality of X-ray detectors for detecting X-rays in the X-ray beam; wherein the detector array has at least one high resolution region in which detectors have a high packing density and at least one low resolution region in which detectors have a low packing density and are separated by X-ray insensitive regions substantially larger than insensitive regions resulting from septa between detectors that function to reduce detector cross talk. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100195804 | METHOD FOR CALIBRATION OF A CT SCANNER - A method for calibration of a CT scanner having an x-ray source and a detector having an axial extent in the scanner, the source being rotatable about an epicenter between the source and detector, the method comprising:
| 08-05-2010 |
| 20100020935 | X-RAY TUBE - An X-ray tube system comprising:
| 01-28-2010 |
| 20090252285 | CT SCANNER USING INJECTED CONTRAST AGENT AND METHOD OF USE - A CT scanner includes a first X-ray beam source, and a second X-ray beam source. With such an apparatus, first source is used to monitor buildup of an injected contrast agent in a selected region of interest relative to a patient and at least the second source is used to perform diagnostic scanning when the buildup of the contrast agent reaches a desired level. | 10-08-2009 |
