Imaging Educational Course: TU-E-134-01 Developments in Imaging Receptors and Applications in Projection X-ray Imaging: J.Yorkston Carestream Health Rochester NY Disclosure: • John Yorkston works for Carestream Health that manufactures and sells CR and DR systems for medical applications Digital Acquisition: Introduction • “CR” technology introduced in 1980’s – Originally referred to “storage” phosphor based systems – Cassette based imaging with separate readout scanner – Similar workflow as screen-film cassettes • “DR” technology introduced in mid 1990’s – Originally referred to a-Si:H (and CCD) based systems – Integrated with x-ray system – Fully “electronic” readout with no moving parts • Since then a number of novel hybrid systems: –“Avalanche” of new terms and nomenclature that confuse and confound – Much of this originates in the “marketing” departments of companies Educational Goals: • Identify features that define the underlying technology • Decipher confusing terminology present in marketplace – Know what questions to ask • Appreciate differences between competing approaches – All systems have their pros and cons… – Important to know which suits your application and budget • Understand recent/future developments – New detector design and system configurations – New types of “future” detectors and their capabilities Digital Image Formation: • X-rays modulated by object Incoming X-rays • X-Ray Converter/Absorber X-ray “Converter” • Secondary quanta response Response • Secondary quanta detector Detector Outline: • Discuss x-ray absorption material selection • Review secondary quantum detection options • Review current status of projection x-ray technology – Highlight ne
