23 Instrumentation Beam collimators: 1 st collimator: width ~45º 2 nd collimator, perpendicular to 1 st : thickness ~1-5 mm Slice profile: -Δz/2 +Δz/2
24 Instrumentation 1 st generation systems Parallel beam 1 pencil beam source 1 detector translating together rotating together scanning time ~4-5 min
25 Instrumentation 2 nd generation systems Fan beam: equilinear geometry 1 thin fan beam source multiple detectors translating together rotating together But fewer rotations required: scanning time ~20 s
26 Instrumentation 3 rd generation systems Fan beam: equiangular geometry 1 wide (~30-45 ) fan beam source ~ detectors covering object no translations rotating together scanning time ~1-3 s Use pulsed X ray sources to take advantage of significant dead time
27 Instrumentation 4 th generation systems Fan beam: equiangular geometry 1 wide fan beam source complete ring of detectors source rotating detector ring stationary ~ scanning time No cumulative detector drift, But very expensive (BGO-PMT detectors)
28 Instrumentation 3 rd generation CT T = X ray tube D = Detectors X = X ray fan beam R = Rotation direction Typical parameters: kvp 140 kv E eff ma Pulse f kev ma 2-4 ms mm Thickness 1-5 mm Matrix (Resolution~0.35 mm) Nb detectors~1000
29 Instrumentation X ray detectors: X rays must be converted into radiation accessible to human vision Type of X ray detectors: - itensifying screen + photographic emulsion - cassette of photostimulable phosphor + laser scanner - scintillation detectors - crystals: NaI (Tl), CsI(Tl), BGO coupled to a photo-multiplier tube (PMT) or a photodiode array (e.g. TFT) - gas ionizing detectors: - ionizing chamber, proportional counter, Geiger-Muller counter Main characteristics of X ray detectors : - Sensitivity - Efficiency - Linearity - Energy resolution - Dead time
30 Instrumentation Ionization chamber: X rays gas ionization electron-ion pairs electron/ions attracted to cathode/anode electric current amplifier Array of interlinked Xenon-filled (~1000) ionization chambers (Z Xe = 66, P = 20 atm) ~1mm X X - + Xe+ e- 10cm - spatial resolution ADC - simplicity - more compact X - efficiency - Role of antiscatter grid X
31 Instrumentation Scintillation detectors: X rays crystal excitation electron-hole pairs electron-hole pairs collected at p-n junctions electric current pre-amplifier X rays crystal excitation optical photons photocathode ionization photoelectrons electron multiplication electric current
32 Instrumentation Conventional CT configurations One slice at a time: time inefficient susceptible to artifacts due to motion between slices
33 Instrumentation Spiral / Helical CT Data are acquired as the patient table moves continuously along z, simultaneously with the source/detectors rotation, tracing out a spiral/helix for the X ray trajectory. Continuous scanning requirements: - source: high heat capacity and efficient cooling - detectors: high efficiency Only one projection is acquired exactly in the image plane. All other projections have to be interpolated.
34 Instrumentation Spiral / Helical CT Spiral pitch: p = d / S p d = table feed per rotation S = collimated slice thickness A. p<1: slice overlap higher dose B. p>2: slice gaps lower resolution blurring 1<p<2: typical values
35 Instrumentation Multislice CT An array of detectors is incorporated along z: Spiral pitch: p ms = d / S single d = table feed per rotation S single = single slice collimated beam width 4-slice: p ms <8 8-slice: p ms <16 16-slice : p ms <32
36 Instrumentation Multislice CT - Multislice helical scans produce a set of interleaved helices interpolation is (even) more difficult to visualize - Images are reconstructed at optimized oblique planes and are then filtered to produce axial images.
37 Instrumentation Multislice CT - Multislice helical scans produce a set of interleaved helices interpolation is (even) more difficult to visualize - Images are reconstructed at optimized oblique planes and are then filtered to produce axial images.
38 Instrumentation Multislice vs single-slice CT Advantages: - Same acquisition in shorter time - Larger volumes in same time - Thinner slices: better spatial resolution - Can get isotropic volumes Disadvantages: -Larger beam width (relative to slice) -Higher dose for same quality -Cone beam artefacts

43 Image characteristics Artefacts: - Streak artefacts: undersampling due to finite number of projections (interaction owith motion, beam hardening or scatter) increase nb rotation steps / decrease rotation step. - Ring artefacts: imbalances in detector sensitivity calibration is performed using spatially uniform test objects. - Beam hardening: results in more attenuation in the center of the object than around the edge, but algorithms assume monochromatic X ray beams and hence uniform attenuation coefficient X ray beam filtering; calibration; reconstruction corrections. - Partial volume effects: thick slices can include, and mix up, different tissue types decrease slice thickness (using multislice systems).
