  • X-ray computed tomography apparatus with optimized readout of a planar X-ray detector
    Patent number: 5737382
    Abstract: In an X-ray computed tomography apparatus with a planar detector an optimum readout of the detector elements ensues by forming the planar detector of a number of sub-detectors. Each sub-detector is composed of a matrix of detector elements. A simultaneous readout of one detector element from each of the sub-detectors ensues.
