SCATTER CONTROL IN BEDSIDE RADIOGRAPHY

描述（来自申请人摘要的逐字）：床边X线摄影是 这是放射学中为数不多的没有商业可行性的领域之一， 控制散射辐射的方法。这是因为， 将焦点与防散射格栅对准。因此，X射线散射 通常将床边X光照片的对比度降低10倍或更多。 这个问题在数字成像系统中加剧，数字成像系统通常更复杂。 对散射的敏感性。一种实用方便的 提出了解决这一问题的方法。第一阶段的目标是建立和 评估拟议的传感器子系统，并在第二阶段产生一个完整的 预生产系统，并证明其临床实用性。 拟定商业应用： 本发明可直接应用于床边和移动的放射摄影。

DESCRIPTION (Verbatim from the Applicant's Abstract): Bedside radiography is one of the few fields of radiology in which there is no commercially viable means of controlling scattered radiation. This is due to the difficulty in aligning the focal spot with an anti-scatter grid. X-ray scatter therefore often reduces the contrast in bedside radiographs by a factor of 10 or more. This problem is exacerbated in digital imaging systems, which are usually more sensitive to scatter than conventional systems. A practical and convenient solution to this problem is proposed. The goal of Phase I will be to build and evaluate the proposed sensor subsystem, and of Phase II to produce a complete preproduction system and to demonstrate its clinical utility. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: This invention is directly applicable to bedside and mobile radiography.
