Like this, channel 6 and 7,8 and 9,10 and 11,12 and 13,14 and 15,16 and 17,18 and 19,20 and 21,22 and 23,24 and 25 is brought into play function as 1 channel respectively.Therefore, X-ray detector 24 is brought into play function as the X-ray detector of 20 channels, and it is impartial that substantial channel pitch reaches in the FOV entire scope.
Fig. 6 represents other switching state of change-over switch 262,264.Shown in figure, at this state, change-over switch 262 is switched to: the output signal of channel 6-25 is outputed to one signal pathway.Change-over switch 264 is switched in addition: the channel 1-20 that the output signal of channel 6-25 is input to signal conditioner 266 respectively.
If only represent the active signal pathway under this state, just as shown in Figure 7, the output signal that only belongs to the channel 6-25 of little FOV is imported into signal conditioner 266.Like this, X-ray detector 24 is same with the occasion of big FOV, brings into play function as the X-ray detector of 20 channels, but owing to only use channel 6-25, so the channel pitch becomes 1/2 of big FOV occasion.Therefore, can collect data with the occasion equal number of big FOV by 2 times spatial decomposition ability.
Fig. 8 represents the mutual relation of X-ray tube in the x-ray bombardment checkout gear 20 and collimator 22 and X-ray detector 24.Fig. 8 (a) is the accompanying drawing of the expression state of looking from the front of gantry 2 in addition, (b) is the accompanying drawing of representing the state of looking from the side.Shown in figure, the X ray that radiates from X-ray tube 20 is configured as: become cone-shaped X-ray beam 400 by collimator 22, and shine X-ray detector 24.
Dispersing of a direction of the cone-shaped X-ray beam 400 of Fig. 8 (a) expression.Below, also this direction is called the amplitude direction.The amplitude direction of X-ray beam 400 is consistent with the configuration direction of channel in the X-ray detector 24.In the divergence range of X-ray beam 400, set big FOV and little FOV.(b) other direction of expression X-ray beam 400 disperses.Below, also this direction is called the thickness direction of X-ray beam 400.In the thickness direction of X-ray beam 400 and the X-ray detector 24 a plurality of detecting elements row and to put direction consistent.It is orthogonal that 2 of X-ray beam 400 disperse direction.
This X-ray beam 400 is intersected with axon, and such as shown in Figure 9, the object 8 of institute's mounting is moved the x-ray bombardment space on the photography platform 4.Gantry 2 is a kind of tubular structures that comprise the x-ray bombardment checkout gear in inside.
The x-ray bombardment space forms at the inner space of the tubular structure of gantry 2.By X-ray beam 400 come layering the image of object 8 be projected to X-ray detector 24.By X-ray detector 24, the X ray that has seen through object 8 is detected by each detector columns.The thickness t h that shines the X-ray beam 400 of object 8 is regulated by the eyelet aperture of collimator 22.
Parallel, as shown in arrow 42 with the rotation of x-ray bombardment checkout gear, photography platform 4 is moved continuously in the axon direction of object 8, the relative thus object 8 of x-ray bombardment checkout gear rotates along the helical track of surrounding object 8.Carry out so-called helical scanning (helical scan) thus.If under the state that photography platform 4 is stopped, making the rotation of x-ray bombardment checkout gear, can carry out axial scan (axial scan).
With the rotating shaft direction of scanning as the z direction, with the direction that connects center of rotation and X-ray tube 20 as the y direction, will with z direction and the vertical direction of y direction as the x direction.Form rotating coordinate system xyz thus.
Every rotation sweep 1 time is just collected the data for projection that repeatedly (such as 1000 times) observe (view).The collection of data for projection is by the X-ray detector 24-data collection 26-of portion data collection buffer 64 these a series of carrying out.
Action to this device is explained.Figure 10 represents flow process (flow) figure of this device action.Shown in figure,, carry out photography conditions and set in step (stage) 501.Photography conditions is set and is undertaken by operating means 70 by user.Set various sweep parameters (scan parameter) such as photography position, FOV, tube voltage, tube current, lift height thus.
Next, scan in step 503.According to the photography conditions of setting in step 501, scan by gantry 2 and photography platform 4.Come the data for projection of intelligence-collecting object 8 thus.
Next, carrying out image in step 507 reconstructs.Image reconstructs by data processing equipment 60 and is undertaken.Data processing equipment 60 is based on by the collected data for projection of scanning, waits and reconstructs image by returning the filter sciagraphy.Reconstituted image is shown and stores in step 509.The demonstration of image is undertaken by display device 60.The storage of image is undertaken by storage device 66.
In above-mentioned photography, big FOV photography is carried out under the connection status of X-ray detector shown in Figure 5 24 and data collection portion 26, and little FOV photography is carried out under the connection status of X-ray detector shown in Figure 7 24 and data collection portion 26.As shown in Figure 7, owing to FOV is being reduced under 1/2 the occasion, corresponding therewith the channel pitch is set to 1/2, collects the data with the occasion equal number of FOV, even thereby FOV reduce, the spatial decomposition ability that reconstructs image does not descend yet.
The relation of 2 FOV of size can be set at a plurality of stages.That is,, can set its FOV greatly,, can set its slight FOV by above-mentioned relation as big FOV to little FOV by above-mentioned relation as little FOV to big FOV.For and too less than the FOV of slight FOV greater than the FOV of FOV greatly.
