Tomographic Apparatus And Method For Obtaining Three-Dimensional Information By Radiation Scanning
US Patent:
4298800, Nov 3, 1981
Filed:
Jan 23, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/005687
Inventors:
Arnold Goldman - Houston TX
Assignee:
Computome Corporation - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01N 2300
US Classification:
250445T
Abstract:
Apparatus for scanning a part or all of a patient by X-rays or gamma rays to obtain two or three dimensional information. The apparatus comprises a fan beam source of radiation which is moveable relative to the patient and means fixed or movably relative to the patient, but fixed relative to the source of radiation comprising a scintillation crystal or fluoroscopic screen which may be tilted at an angle, a lens system, a charge coupled device for translating the light photons received from the crystal or screen into a corresponding analog signal which can then be processed either directly by an analog computer or after conversion to digital signals, by a digital computer. The results are then exhibited by a suitable display device such as a cathode ray tube.
