Problems solved by technology

[0003] In principle, however, in the case of these adjustments, the scanning protocols provided together as well as the separately arranged (einprogrammierten) scanning protocols themselves are problematic, which only covers the entire complexity arising in the case of patient-specific scanning. a part
Another problem is that, for example, there is no control mechanism which takes into account possible incompatibilities of the patient with regard to the examinations carried out.

Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 An example is shown for a CT system 1 according to the invention, in which a patient 7 on a movable patient couch 8 is moved along a system axis 9 through an opening in a gantry housing 6 , while The gantry, which is not shown in detail here, moves in rotation around the patient 7 . At least one tube detector system consisting of a first X-ray tube 2 and an oppositely positioned detector 3 is located on the frame. Optionally, a second tube detector system with a second x-ray tube 4 and a second detector 5 can also be arranged on the same gantry. Due to the continuous or sequential movement of the patient along the system axis 9 , a helical scan or a sequential circular scan of the patient is controlled by a computer system 10 , wherein an analysis of the detection data and a final reconstruction can also be performed by this computer system.

[0043] According to the invention, the computer system 10 also includes the program Prg 1 to Prg n , using these pr...

Abstract

A CT system (1) for scanning a patient (7) is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the system includes a tube detector system (2, 3, 4, 5), which can be set by a control device in respect of tube voltage and / or dose power; a patient couch (8), which can be displaced in a controlled fashion at least in the direction of a system axis (9); and a computer system (10), which can control the CT system (1). The CT system is characterized in that, in at least one embodiment, the system includes an evaluation unit for a prescribed logical decision tree (14), which is integrated into the computer system (10), and which determines examination and scan parameters (16) for the CT system (1) on the basis of the input of at least one patient parameter described in a parameter list (15) and operates the CT system (1) using these examination and scan parameters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a CT system for scanning patients with at least one tube detector system which can be adjusted with a control device for tube voltage and / or dose rate, a patient couch which can be moved in a controlled manner at least in the direction of the system axis and a computer system that can control the CT system. Background technique [0002] CT systems of the type described above are generally known. Usually these CT systems have the possibility of selecting predefined scanning protocols or defining their own specific scanning protocols as required, wherein these scanning protocols usually adjust the CT system in such a way that an "average" patient is scanned, wherein additionally It is quite possible to select a specific organ system which should be clearly visible. In addition, there is also the possibility, for example, of selecting gated or non-gated (geatete oder nicht gegatete) scanning modes, in which case parameters with ...
