Data acquisition system for imaging system such as computer tomography scanner, has connecting slot which is able to receive two analog-digital converter boards in back-to-back configuration

摘要

The system includes a number of terminals, at least one of which is coupled to a signal line of a detector element. A circuit board connecting part is arranged adjacent to the detector to reduce the input capacitance of the detector element signal line. At least one connecting part or slot is configured to receive one analog/digital converter board (300). The connecting slot is also able to receive two A/D boards in a back-to-back configuration. The A/D board preferably comprises a number of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips. An independent claim is included for an imaging system.
