Abstract
(EN)
Cone-beam CT scanners with large detector arrays suffer from increased scatter radiation. This radiation may cause severe image artefacts. An examination apparatus is provided which directly measures the scatter radiation and uses this measurement for a correction of the contaminated image data. The measurement is performed by utilizing a 1- dimensional anti-scatter-grid and an X-ray tube with an electronic focal spot movement. Image data is detected at a first position of a focal spot and scatter data is detected at a second position of the focal spot. The image data is corrected on the basis of the scatter data.
(FR)
Les scanners de tomographie par ordinateur (CT) à faisceau conique présentant des groupes élevés de détecteur sont soumis à une dispersion de rayonnement accrue. Ce rayonnement peut provoquer des artéfacts graves dans l'image. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, un dispositif d'examen mesure directement le rayonnement dispersé et utilise cette mesure pour corriger les données d'image contaminées. Cette mesure peut être exécutée au moyen d'un réseau antidispersion unidimensionnel et d'un tube à rayons X pourvu d'un déplacement électronique de point focal.
