COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATING AND COUNTING DETECTOR ELEMENTS

摘要

A computed tomography system includes at least two simultaneously operatable sets of detector elements, with at least one first set of integrating detector elements being designed for integrating radiation measurement and at least one second set of counting detector elements being designed to disperse an incident radiation spectrum into at least two energy bins; and includes a computer system for controlling the CT system and at least once capturing the measurement data of the detector elements with a memory and computer programs contained therein. The computer system is provided with programming so that a first mode is provided for operating only the at least one first set of integrating detector elements and a second mode is provided for the additional or sole operation of the at least one second set of counting detector elements.
