Abstract
Disclosed is a self-shielding and movable gantry and a breast computed tomography apparatus with the same, in particular, in which the BCT can be freely installed and moved through its own X-ray shielding, which enables examinations with no physical or clinical limitations through a full three-dimensional isotropic image of a breast without compressing the breast, does not require complementary examinations such as MRI or ultrasound, allows for a comfortable, accurate and versatile examination with the minimum face-to-face and contact, and the use of the taken images can be maximized along with AI.
Claims7
A gantry comprising:
- a frame shaped like a box and having an interior formed with a space;
- a rotary gear rotatably coupled to the interior of the frame;
- a low-dose subminiature nano cold-cathode field-emission digital X-ray tube coupled to a first side of the rotary gear and generating X-rays based on high voltage applied thereto;
- and
- a perovskite type high-sensitive low-dose X-ray detector coupled to a second side of the rotary gear, receiving the X-rays generated from the X-ray tube and transmitted through a subject, converting the received X-rays into an electrical signal, and transmitting the electric signal to a data collector,
- wherein the rotary gear is movable up and down or left and right with respect to the frame,
- wherein the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector are disposed symmetrically with respect to a rotational center axis line to maintain a relative position therebetween, and
- wherein the frame comprises an opening on the second side thereof to insert the subject therein, and the frame comprises a shield on an entire inner surface thereof to shield against the X-rays generated by the X-ray tube.
