PANORAMIC IMAGING USING MULTI-SPECTRAL X-RAY SOURCE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for obtaining a panoramic image.SOLUTION: One system includes a gantry, an X-ray source, a receptor, and at least one controller. The X-ray source is mounted on the gantry and is configured to alternately output X-ray radiation at a first energy level and X-ray radiation at a second energy level. The receptor is mounted on the gantry so that X-ray radiation from the X-ray source enters the receptor. The receptor is configured to output a plurality of frames of data including a first frame and a second frame sequential to the first frame. The controller is configured to control the X-ray source so that data in the first frame is generated on the basis of X-ray radiation of the first energy level and data in the second frame is based on X-ray radiation of the second energy level.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
