Abstract
A vehicle includes a computed tomographic system (CT) including a CT gantry having an inner peripheral, and a subject window in a surface of the vehicle. The subject window is configured to be exposed to an exterior of the vehicle via a side face of the vehicle, such that the subject window is configured to enable a subject to enter or exit from the inner peripheral of the CT gantry in a body axis direction of the CT.
Claims14
A computer tomographic (CT) system, comprising:
- a rotating part having a light source and a rotational central axis;
- a fixed part surrounding the rotating part;
- and
- a detector array including a plurality of CMOS sensor units, wherein the plurality of CMOS sensor units are
- arranged inside the rotating part in an arc shape viewed from the rotational central axis, or
- arranged along an entire inner circumference of the fixed part surrounding the rotational central axis,
- wherein each CMOS sensor unit of the plurality of CMOS sensor units has a vertical scanning circuit and horizontal scanning and signal readout circuits arranged along at least one side of a rectangular light receiving region, the rectangular light receiving region including a plurality of pixels arranged vertically and horizontally, and a longitudinal direction of the vertical scanning circuit is parallel to a longitudinal direction of the horizontal scanning and signal readout circuits, and
- wherein each of the longitudinal direction of the vertical scanning circuit and the longitudinal direction of the horizontal scanning and signal readout circuits is perpendicular to the rotational central axis.
