Abstract
A medical imaging system includes a collimator configured to filter radiation emitted from a subject; and a detector configured to detector radiation that has passed through the collimator, wherein the detector includes a plurality of detector tiles and at least one detector tile is moveable with respect to other detector tiles, wherein top surfaces of the plurality of detector tiles are capable to be configured as being coplanar.
Claims20
A medical imaging system, comprising:
- a collimator configured to filter radiation emitted from a subject;
- and
- a detector configured to detect radiation that has passed through the collimator, wherein the detector includes a plurality of detector tiles and at least one detector tile is moveable with respect to other detector tiles, wherein top surfaces of the plurality of detector tiles are capable to be configured as being coplanar, wherein the detector is configured to change in shape by moving one or more of the plurality of detector tiles.
A method of acquiring a medical image, comprising:
- providing a medical imaging system with a deformable detector, the deformable detector including a plurality of detector tiles;
- determining a configuration of the deformable detector;
- moving a portion of the plurality of detector tiles, such that the deformable detector is configured to the determined configuration;
- and
- acquiring an image of a targeted subject by the deformable detector, wherein the moving of the portion of the plurality of detector tiles includes sliding the portion of the plurality of detector tiles along one or more tracks.
2 more elements
A medical imaging system, comprising:
- a collimator configured to filter radiation emitted from a subject;
- and
- a detector configured to detect radiation that has passed through the collimator, wherein the detector includes multiple detector tiles, wherein top surfaces of the multiple detector tiles are capable to be configured as being coplanar, some of the multiple detector tiles are moveable, and the detector is configured to change size, shape, orientation, or a combination thereof by moving one or more of the moveable detector tiles.
