  • Patent number: 11049897
    Abstract: A detector capable of securing space for arranging pixels in the vicinity of edges of adjacent readout chips according to design of counting circuits. A 2-dimensional hybrid pixel array detector configured to detect radiation rays, including a detection unit configured to detect the radiation rays incident in a region of each pixel 115, and a plurality of the readout chips including counting circuits 121 respectively connected to each of the pixels 115, the counting circuits 121 having a smaller set pitch than the pixels 115 along a certain direction in a detection surface. The regions occupied by the pixels and counting circuits corresponding to the pixels overlapping at least partially, and the connection being made in the overlapping regions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 5, 2017

  • Patent number: 9558582
    Abstract: An image processing method and an image processing apparatus which remove the effects of cosmic rays, noise and defective pixels without losing data in a specified time and which can correct image data efficiently and with high accuracy are provided. An image processing method of performing correction processing on an abnormal value of X-ray image data is provided which includes the steps of: (S3) determining whether or not there exists a target element with intensity significantly different from intensity of peripheral elements, in a three dimensional space formed with a space axis and a time axis defined by a series of captured image frames; and (S9) replacing the intensity of the target element with a replacement value calculated from the intensity of peripheral elements.
