Zusammenfassung: | ababaababWhen performing a patient scan to collect patient data for reconstruction into one or more image volumes, a combination nuclear-radiographic subject imaging device includes first and second detector heads, which move on respective positionable tracks. The positionable tracks move on stationary tracks coupled to a rotatable gantry structure. Each detector head is rotatably coupled to its positionable track by a rotation arm. When a radiographic scan is performed, the first detector head is rotated so that a radiographic detector mounted to the first detector head faces the patient, and an X-ray source mounted to the second detector head also faces the patient, opposite the radiographic detector. When a nuclear imaging scan is performed, the detector heads are rotated to face the patient during the scan. |
