MULTI-RADIATION SOURCE X-RAY CT APPARATUS

摘要

A multisource type X-ray CT apparatus comprising a fixed sensor array, a fixed vacuum chamber, and an X-ray generation unit, wherein the X-ray generation unit includes a cathode and an anode which are fixed in the vacuum chamber so as to surround the sensor array, a gate array including a plurality of grid electrodes which are densely fixed between the cathode and anode and which include holes for passing the electron beams, a power source which applies a bias voltage to the grid electrodes of the gate array, and a controller which controls the power supply operation from the power source so as to select the grid electrode suitable for image pickup from the gate array in accordance with an image pickup portion of the subject and to release the bias voltage applied to the selected grid electrode. <IMAGE>
