Xenon detector
Si tratta di detector a gas, generalmente riempiti di un gas nobile come lo Xenon.
Consiste in un numero elevato di piccole camere a gas (500 – 700), separate da
placche di metallo che costituiscono l‘anodo e il catodo dell‘elemento.
Gli elettrodi ad alta tensione (catodi) sono collegati ad una tensione DC di 250 V.

Xenon detector
Gli elettrodi di segnale (anodi) sono collegati al sistema di misura dei dati Data
Measurment System DMS o Data Acquisition System DAS e portano la corrente
misurata ai circuiti integrati.
La pressione dei detector è di circa 20 – 25 bar.
Principo dei gas detector:
X-rays ionnizza il gas Xenon e la quantità di ionizzazione determina la corrente
d‘uscita.

Un detector allo stato solido consiste in scintillation crystal come il cesium iodide or
cadmium tungstate e materiale ceramico gadolinium oxysulfide.
Questo materiale converte i Raggi X in luce,e successivamente mediante un foto-
diodo in corrente.

Number of detectors and rows
Newest CT systems are equipped with a multi row detector of up to 24 rows,
which benefits the speed of the scanner.
The multi row detector allows a measurement of multiple images / revolution
and this in turn reduces the required scan time for patients. Additionally the
high speed of the measurement reduces motion artefacts and enables very
good cardio images.

Slip Ring Scanning
Since 1990 the CT systems are operated with continues rotation.
This requires sliprings, to switch:
- Power to the tube (high voltage, when the generator is stationary, or low
voltage, when the generator is on the rotating gantry)
-- power to all rotating components
-- control signals between rotating and stationary gantry
--- the data to the image processor

Advantage of slip ring scanners
•Faster conventional axial scanning (stepwise table feed)
–interscan delay governed only by time taken from
table to move to new position(~1 sec)
