METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AND OPTIMIZING OUTPUT OF AN X-RAY SOURCE

A method for controlling output of an X-ray source to optimize X-ray energy arriving at an associated X-ray receptor during linear tomographic examination. The method comprises the steps of selecting tomographic sweep parameters (501, 502), predicting a set of X-ray source control parameters based,...

Zusammenfassung:A method for controlling output of an X-ray source to optimize X-ray energy arriving at an associated X-ray receptor during linear tomographic examination. The method comprises the steps of selecting tomographic sweep parameters (501, 502), predicting a set of X-ray source control parameters based, at least in part, upon the selected tomographic sweep parameters (503 , 504, 505), and controlling X-ray source output in accordance with the set of X- ray source control parameters to optimize X-ray energy arriving at the associated X-ray receptor (508). Apparatus for controlling output of an X-ra y source is also disclosed.
