Scanning equalization radiography with stationary equalization detector

The system comprises an x-ray source (12), a collimator and attenuator (16) an equalization detector (30) and a control circuit (40) which controls the collimater (16) in dependence on the detector (30). The equalization detector (30) detects the intensity of x-rays received via a patient (24) in va...

Zusammenfassung:	The system comprises an x-ray source (12), a collimator and attenuator (16) an equalization detector (30) and a control circuit (40) which controls the collimater (16) in dependence on the detector (30). The equalization detector (30) detects the intensity of x-rays received via a patient (24) in various zones in the detector (30) and controls the collimator (16) so as to compress the dynamic range of the received x-rays into a range compatible with an image detector (34) such as a photographic film.
