Gantry:
Is a mounted framework that surrounds the patient that houses these components:
X-ray tubeGenerator Collimators
DetectorsFilters

X-ray tube:Uses high frequency generator.
To maximize x-ray tube heat capacity:Uses rotating anode x-ray tube.
small target angle.large anode diameter
focal spot size appropriate to geometrySome use a metal envelope, which have larger anode
disks. This allows the tech. To use higher tube current and heat capacity is also increased.
Cathode consists of one or multiple filaments.
![Page 6: Alhanouf Alshedi Email: aalshedi@ksu.edu.sa CT Instrumentation and X-ray system 2 ed Lecture.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ee65503460f94bf5cb5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
mA – tube current: The number of electrons flowing from cathode to anode.
kVp: Potential difference between cathode and anode (Volts) kilo means 1,000 x.
S –time of exposure: mAs tube current for certain length of time.

Generator
High –frequency generator which is: Small
CompactMore efficient than conventional generators.
Is located inside the gantry.Provides power ranging 20-100 kilowatts

Filters:
They serve a dual purpose:Filtration removes long-
wavelength x-rays as do not play a role in C.T image formation and add to patient dose.
Filtration shapes the energy distribution across the beam to produce a uniform beam.
![Page 9: Alhanouf Alshedi Email: aalshedi@ksu.edu.sa CT Instrumentation and X-ray system 2 ed Lecture.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ee65503460f94bf5cb5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Collimation:It protects the pt by restricting the beam to area of
interest.Shape the beam and removes scatter radiation which
improves axial resolution.
-Adjustable pre-patient
) between tube & patient (and pre-detector collimators: (between patient and detector)
-Must be perfectly aligned to optimise imaging process.

Constrains size of beam.
Reduces amount of scatter produced.
Designed to minimize beam divergence.
Often consists of several stages or sets of jaws.

GANTRY CHARACTERISTICSHas two important features:
1)APERTURE:
It is the opening in which the pt moves through during scanning. Most of the scanners have 70cm aperture, which facilitates pt positioning and provides access to pt in
emergency situations.
2)TILTING RANGE:
To accommodate all patients and different clinical exams. Tilting range of most scanners +30 to -30 degrees.

PATIENT COUCH
Should be strong and rigid to support weight.
Usually made of carbon fibers due to their low absorption.
450 lbs (204 kg) distributed weight limit.
Provides vertical and horizontal movement.
Scannable range:coverage from head to thigh (162cm)
