Embodiment Construction
[0020] figure 1 Components of a dual-source computed tomography system with a suitably positioned target 6 for carrying out the proposed method are shown highly diagrammatically. In the drawing two X-ray systems A, B consisting of A-X-ray tube 1 and A-X-ray detector 2 and B-X-ray tube 3 and B-X-ray detector 4 can be recognized, which are arranged in the frame of the computed tomography system 5 on. Here, the two x-ray systems are arranged at an angle of 90° relative to each other in the direction of rotation of the gantry, such as from figure 1 as known from. The direction of rack rotation is indicated by a curved arrow.
[0021]In the present example, for the energy calibration of the A-X-ray detector 2 , the fluorescent target 6 is arranged in the X-ray beam 8 of the B-X-ray tube 3 in such a way that it is uniformly irradiated and hit by the resulting X-ray fluorescent radiation 9 A-X-ray detector 2 to be calibrated. In this case, the A-X-ray detector 2 is calibrated by...
