In the present research, we developed an energy-dispersive X-ray computed tomography (ED-CT) system using a 25 mm/s linear CdTe scanner, a turntable, and an X-ray generator. Using this ED-CT with a maximum count rate of sub-Mcps, we performed enhanced K-edge imaging using iodine and gadolinium contrast media, and blood vessels and cancerous regions were observed at high contrast. Using the CdTe detector in conjunction with an x-y stage, we also developed a transmission-type camera, a reflection-type fluorescence camera, and a back-scattering X-ray camera. To carry out Mcps-range imaging, we developed LSO-MPPC and YAP(Ce)-MPPC detectors. Using these two detectors, we constructed the ED-CT system and performed high-speed K-edge imaging. Lately, a dual-energy comparator device was developed, and dual-energy subtraction was performed using two different energy images which were obtained simultaneously.

在本研究中，我们开发了一种能量色散x射线计算机断层扫描（ED-CT）系统，该系统使用25毫米/秒的线性CdTe扫描仪，转盘和x射线发生器。我们使用这台亚mcps计数率最高的ED-CT，使用碘和钆造影剂进行增强的k边缘成像，在高对比度下观察到血管和癌区。将CdTe探测器与x-y级结合使用，我们还开发了透射型相机、反射型荧光相机和后向散射x射线相机。为了进行mcps范围成像，我们开发了LSO-MPPC和YAP(Ce)-MPPC探测器。利用这两个探测器，我们构建了ED-CT系统并进行了高速k边缘成像。最近，研制了一种双能量比较装置，利用同时获得的两种不同能量图像进行双能量相减。
