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.
This technology is a novel design to improve the performance of electron guns used with MRI for real-time image guidance during linear accelerator (linac)-based radiotherapy.
Disclosed is x-ray cone beam scan data reconstruction of an imaged object with a reconstruction algorithm using shift invariant filtering and backprojection with the maximum tomographic capability of a circular scan larger than p plus cone angle, when CB data is not truncated
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.
An apparatus for use in a magnetic resonance (MR) system, which generates an external MR magnetic field, is provided. A rotor comprises a rotor shaft with an axis along a length of the rotor shaft and a plurality of coils on the rotor shaft.
