Dual-exposure technique for extending the dynamic range of x-ray flat panel detectors.
This work presents an approach to extend the dynamic range of x-ray flat panel detectors by combining two acquisitions of the same sample taken with two different x-ray photon flux levels and the same beam spectral configuration. In order to combine both datasets, the response of detector pixels was modelled in terms of mean and variance using a linear model. The model was extended to take into...
متن کاملMethod for Dual High Energy X-ray Imaging with Flat Panel Detectors
Dual-energy X-ray imaging in the keV range is a well-known technique e.g. used in baggage scanning. It requires two measurements at different energies and/or detector efficiencies and allows displaying material properties as the effective atomic number and mass density. The method thus provides the information allowing identifying illicit materials such as explosives and contraband or high-Z ma...
متن کاملDirect-conversion flat-panel X-ray image detectors
Flat-panel X-ray image detectors have been shown to be suitable to replace the conventional X-ray filmjscreen cassettes for medical radiography (static or snapshot imaging). They are capable of capturing the X-ray image digitally immediately after the X-ray exposure which permits a convenient clinical transition to digital radiography. There are two general approaches to the flat-panel X-ray de...
متن کاملThe dual - gain mode : a way to enhance the dynamic range of X - ray detectors
Varian Medical Systems has manufactured and recently put into operation a clinically-applicable solution for image-guided radiation therapy. Cone-beam CT imaging, one of the operation modes of the imaging unit of this device, aims at high-quality volumetric reconstruction. To boost the image quality, the dual-gain mode, a successful means for enhancing the dynamic range of the flat-panel detect...
متن کاملThe design and imaging characteristics of dynamic, solid-state, flat-panel x-ray image detectors for digital fluoroscopy and fluorography.
Dynamic, flat-panel, solid-state, x-ray image detectors for use in digital fluoroscopy and fluorography emerged at the turn of the millennium. This new generation of dynamic detectors utilize a thin layer of x-ray absorptive material superimposed upon an electronic active matrix array fabricated in a film of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). Dynamic solid-state detectors come in two basi...
