no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0022] First, the first embodiment will be described. figure 1 It is a diagram showing the configuration of the X-ray CT apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment. Such as figure 1 As shown, the X-ray CT apparatus 100 has a scanning frame (gantry) 110, a high voltage generator 120, a preprocessing device 130, a reconstruction device 140, an image processing device 150, a storage device 160, an input device 170, a display device 180 and system controller (system controller) 190 .

[0023] The gantry 110 irradiates the subject with X-rays, detects the X-rays transmitted through the subject, and generates raw data. This gantry 110 has an X-ray tube 111, a slip ring (slipring) 112, an X-ray detector 200, a frame (flame) 113, a rotating part 114, a data (date) acquisition circuit (Date Acquisition System: DAS) 115, a non-contact data transmission device 116.

[0024] The X-ray tube 111 generates X-rays for irradiating a subject by a tube voltage and a tube current suppl...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0049] Next, a second embodiment will be described. In this embodiment. An example of the method of fixing the collimator module 223 described in the first embodiment will be described. Figure 8 It is a figure which shows the fixing method of the collimator module 223 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment.

[0050] Such as Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of grooves 222b are formed along the incident direction of X-rays on the surface of the collimator plate 222a included in the collimator base 222 . In addition, when the collimator module 223 is arranged in a section defined by the collimator panel 222a, the end of the collimator panel 223a included in the collimator module 223 abuts against the groove 222b. Here, the collimator module 223 is positioned in the partitions defined by the collimator panel 222a when the end of the collimator panel 223a abuts against the groove 222b formed in the collimator panel 222a.

[0051] In addition, the number of grooves...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0054] Next, a third embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, another example different from that in the second embodiment will be described with respect to the fixing method of the collimator module 223 described in the first embodiment. Figure 9 and Figure 10 It is a figure which shows the fixing method of the collimator module 223 which concerns on 3rd Embodiment.

[0055] Such as Figure 9 As shown, in the present embodiment, when the collimator module 223 is disposed in the subregion divided by the collimator panel 222a, the end of the collimator panel 223a is engaged with a part of the collimator panel 222a (refer to Figure 9 within circle A shown).

[0056] Specifically, in the present embodiment, an engaging portion is formed at an end portion of the collimator plate 223 a included in the collimator module 223 . Also, on the collimator plate 222 a included in the collimator base 222 , an engaged portion that engages with an engaging portion formed at an...

Abstract

An X-ray CT apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray detector and a collimator unit. The X-ray detector detects X-rays that have passed through a subject. The collimator unit eliminates scattered radiation from X-rays that are incident on the X-ray detector. The collimator unit includes a plurality of collimator modules, a supporter, and a fixing unit. The plurality of collimator modules each includes a plurality of first collimator plates arranged in a grid along a channel direction and a slice direction that are orthogonal to each other. The supporter supports the collimator modules such that the collimator modules are aligned in a plurality of straight lines along the channel direction and in a plurality of straight lines along the slice direction. The fixing unit is provided to the supporter and fixes positions of the collimator modules in the channel direction and the slice direction.

Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-211667 filed on September 22, 2010 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-183452 filed on August 25, 2011, and all of the aforementioned Japanese Patent Applications are cited in this application content. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an X-ray CT (Computed Tomography) device, a radiation detector and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, radiation diagnostic apparatuses such as X-ray CT apparatuses include radiation detectors for detecting radiation such as X-rays or γ-rays. In addition, a radiation diagnostic apparatus generally includes a collimator for removing scattered rays from radiation incident on a radiation detector. This collimator has a one-dimensional collimator for removing scattered rays from the channel direction, and a two-dimensional collimator for removing scattered rays from the channel direction and th...
