    Abstract: An x-ray examination apparatus comprises an x-ray source and an x-ray detector. The x-ray detector includes a photoconductor to derive electric charges from incident x-radiation and read-out elements which derive electrical pixel-signals from the electric charges from the photoconductor. A central group of the read-out elements is located in a central region of the x-ray detector and a peripheral group of the read-out elements is located in a peripheral region which surrounds the central region. The x-ray examination apparatus being provided with a selection system to select the central group of read-out elements so as to supply pixel-signals from the central group of read-elements to the output circuit. The selection system may include an encompassing electrode to drain electric charges from the peripheral group. Or the selection system shields the peripheral group from x-rays.

    Abstract: An x-ray examination apparatus comprises an x-ray image sensor matrix (1) for deriving an initial image signal from the x-ray image. The sensor elements of the x-ray sensor matrix convert incident x-rays into electric charges. These electric charges are read-out and converted into the initial image signal. Further a correction unit (2) is provided for correcting the initial image signal, notably for disturbances due to delayed transferred charges, that have been retained in the sensor elements for some time. The correction unit (2) is provided with a memory which stores correction values. Further the correction provided with a selection unit (5) for selecting appropriate correction values from the memory (3).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pixellated detector with an enhanced structure to enable easy pixel identification even with high light output at crystal edges. A half-pixel shift between scintillator crystals (50) and detector pixels (12) enables the identification of a crystal (50) from four detector pixels (12) instead of nine pixels in case of optical crosstalk. Glass plates without any mechanical structuring may be used as a common substrate (60) for detectors and scintillators.

    Abstract: When performing nuclear (e.g., SPECT or PET) and CT scans on a patient, an imaging system (10) includes three or more carbon nanotube x-ray sources (20) are circumferentially spaced along an arc of a rotatable gantry (16) that spans a distance larger than a maximum cross-sectional dimension of a section of a patient (14) to be imaged. The x-ray sources are sequentially pulsed to emit x-rays for scanning a section of a patient (14) including a volume of interest (VOI) (13). Only one source (20) is in an ON state at a time to create a duty cycle, which reduces cooling time for the respective sources as well as radiation dose to the subject. X-rays traversing the patient (14) are received at a flat panel x-ray detector (22) that has a width smaller than the maximum cross-sectional dimesion, which further reduces the weight and size of the system (10).

    Abstract: In a disclosed imaging method, the instantaneous speed or data acquisition dwell times of a detector head (14, 16) is optimized as a function of position along a path (P) of the detector head around a subject (S, SS, SXL). The optimization is respective to an expected radioactive emission profile (EPROI) of a region of interest (H, HS, HXL) that is less than the entire subject. The detector head is traversed along the path using the optimized instantaneous speed or data acquisition dwell times (40). During the traversing, imaging data are acquired using the detector head. The acquired imaging data are reconstructed to generate a reconstructed image of at least the region of interest. A gamma camera (10) configured to perform the foregoing imaging method is also disclosed.
