LASER IMAGING APPARATUS WITH VARIABLE POWER, ORBIT TIME AND BEAM DIAMETER
摘要
An apparatus for breast scanning comprises a patient support for a patient to rest in a prone position, the support having an opening with one of her breasts vertically pendent through the opening for scanning; and a laser CT scanner disposed below the support for generating data for reconstruction of images of the breast. The laser CT scanner includes a laser beam for impinging on the breast. The laser beam is orbitable around the breast. The laser CT scanner includes a plurality of detectors positioned in an arc around the breast to simultaneously detect light transmitted through the breast. The measured signal level at the detectors is maintained to an acceptable level while controlling the temperature rise on the breast surface during scanning.
