  • On-line measurement of x-ray tube voltage in a CT system
    Patent number: 5530735
    Abstract: A CT system includes a pair of detectors in its detector array which measure x-ray intensity from a source after passing through a differential x-ray filter. The ratio of the signals produced by these two detector elements are input to a KV calculator which produces a signal indicative of x-ray tube voltage.
