Abstract
A non-transitory computer readable memory storing instructions, which, when executed by at least one data processor, causes the at least one data processor to perform the following operations. A first set of data characterizing a sample being examined with a radiation source and a detector is received. The first set of data includes a location of the sample and a duration of time the sample is at the location. A second set of data characterizing radiation dosage based on location is received. A dosage across the sample is determined based on the first set of data and the second set of data. A third set of data characterizing radiation dosage across the sample based on the determined dosage is provided.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one data processor;
- and
- non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one data processor causes the at least one data processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a first set of data characterizing a sample being examined with a radiation source and a detector, the first set of data comprising a location of the sample and a duration of time the sample is at the location;
- receiving a second set of data characterizing radiation dosage based on location;
- and
- determining a dosage across the sample based on the first set of data and the second set of data;
- and
- providing a third set of data characterizing radiation dosage across the sample based on the determined dosage.
A method comprising:
- measuring a radiation dosage from a radiation source, by a detector, at a series of scanning positions within a scanning device;
- constructing a look-up table based on the measured radiation dosage at the series of positions;
- examining a sample with the radiation source and the detector;
- and
- determining a dosage across the sample based on the look-up table and a position of the sample.
A non-transitory computer readable memory storing instructions which, when executed by at least one data processor forming part of at least one computing system, causes the at least one data processor to perform operations comprising:
- measuring a radiation dosage from a radiation source, by a detector, at a series of scanning positions within a scanning device;
- constructing a look-up table based on the measured radiation dosage at the series of positions;
- examining a sample with the radiation source and the detector;
- and
- determining a dosage across the sample based on the look-up table and a position of the sample.
