Stanford researchers have developed an exceptionally fast, sensitive, and compact X-ray imaging system for distinguishing liquids and other materials in aviation security applications.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel and efficient method for generating real-time 3D volumetric computed tomography (CT) images with 2D single or few-view projections, instead of several hundreds of projections as required in existing CT imaging system.
Stanford researchers have patented a novel concept for a position sensitive high-energy photon sensor device for high resolution radiation imaging that can enhance capabilities of Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
A Stanford researcher has developed two advanced approaches for the positron sensitive high-energy photon sensor technology for Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
This invention, the “Charge Cloud Tracker” is a fast, low-cost, strip geometry x-ray detector that is predicted to provide limiting resolution on the order of 5 microns, with very high x-ray detection efficiency.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel traveling wave accelerating structure which is a critical component of a particle accelerator. It has high shunt impedance similar to that of side-coupled standing-wave accelerating structure, but without its drawbacks.
Stanford researchers have invented a decoder for multiplexed readouts of imaging arrays that optimizes the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the decoded detector pixel signals.
A volumetric computed tomography method includes translating a discrete element x-ray source and detector relative to the patient or object in a z-direction parallel to the axis of rotation.
Researchers in the Molecular Imaging Instrumentation Laboratory at Stanford University have developed methods to improve the image quality of tomographic image reconstruction, including positron emission tomography (PET).
Researchers at Stanford have developed a dual modality imaging probe to provide improved atherosclerosis detection and evaluation. Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside arteries.
Stanford researchers have developed a system and method to increase sampling in x-ray and CT images by deflecting the focal spot of an x-ray tube. This invention achieves focal spot z-wobble by shaping the rotating anode.
Scatter radiation in an x-ray imaging system including an x-ray source and an x-ray detector is separated by using amplitude modulation to translate the spatial frequency of a detected x-ray beam to a higher frequency and provide separation from low frequency scatter signal.
A method for imaging an object in a computed tomography (CT) system with a plurality of sources comprising a first source and a second source, wherein the plurality of sources together with a detector array are mounted on a rotatable gantry, and wherein an intensity of the sec
Reduced source spacing for multi-source, multi-detector X-ray imaging systems is provided by allowing channels within an X-ray collimator to intersect within the body of the collimator.
