Abstract
An apparatus including a scintillator panel including a first detector region having a first detecting quality to radiation occupying a first area of the scintillator panel and a second detector region having a second detecting quality to radiation different than the first detecting quality occupying a second area of the scintillator panel; and a light detector coupled to the scintillator panel to photoelectrically convert light generated by the scintillator panel.
Claims20
An apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a scintillator panel including a first detector region having a first detecting quality to radiation occupying a first area of the scintillator panel and a second detector region having a second detecting quality to radiation different than the first detector quality occupying a second area of the scintillator panel;
- and
- a light detector coupled to the scintillator panel to photoelectrically convert light generated by the scintillator panel.
A system comprising:
- a radiation source mounted on a gantry to emit radiation;
- and
- a flat panel detector located on the gantry at a distance spaced apart from and opposing the radiation source, the flat panel detector comprising:
- a scintillator panel including a first detector region having a first detecting quality to the radiation emitted by the radiation source occupying a first area of the scintillator panel and a second detector region having a second detecting quality to the radiation emitted by the radiation source occupying a second area of the scintillator panel, the second detecting quality being different than the first detecting quality;
- and
- a light detector coupled to the scintillator panel to photoelectrically convert light generated by the scintillator panel.
