Study Notes
CT Scanners
- EBCT scanner uses electron beam geometry, whereas conventional CT scanners use mechanical geometry.
- EBCT scanner acquires CT data 10-100 times faster than conventional CT scanners.
Clinical Applications
- EBCT scanner is not used for bone densitometry.
1st Generation CT Scanners
- Uses a translate-rotate configuration with a single detector and a finely collimated beam.
- Has one detector.
- Tube and detector rotate 360 degrees after one translation.
- Takes 4-5 minutes to gather enough information for one slice.
2nd Generation CT Scanners
- Uses a translate-rotate configuration with a larger rotation increment and multiple pencil beams.
- Is capable of body imaging.
3rd Generation CT Scanners
- Uses a rotate-stationary configuration with a fan-shaped beam and a circular detector array.
- Main disadvantage is that it is sensitive to patient movement.
4th Generation CT Scanners
- Uses a rotate-only configuration with a fixed ring of detectors.
- Is capable of body imaging.
Electron Beam CT (EBCT) Scanners
- Uses a rotating x-ray tube and a stationary ring of detectors.
- Is capable of acquiring scan data in milliseconds and producing dynamic 3D images.
- Mode of operation that allows for scanning multiple target rings and generating multiple scans is called "multi-slice scanning".
- Is capable of body imaging.
