A terminal capable of detecting rays, an enclosure, and a method for fabricating terminal are provided. The terminal comprises a terminal body and a ray detector in communication with the terminal body. The terminal body comprises a display panel. The ray detector detects rays around the terminal, and transmits the detected signal to the terminal body. The terminal body analyzes the detected signal and transmits the detected signal to the display panel for displaying. In the present disclosure, the detector and the display panel are formed at the same time, and the detector is integrated in a same display panel, so that the process is simplified. The terminal stores and analyzes the data about the collected ionizing radiation dose. As a result, the radiation dose can be read in real time, and an alert can be issued instantaneously to reduce unnecessary damage.

Radiation image detecting device, radiation imaging system and operation method thereof

In capturing an image of a grid by an image detector, a measurement pixel that is not in the position of a specific point having a maximum or minimum value of an output signal is referred to as a first measurement pixel, and a measurement pixel that is in the position of the specific point is referred to as a second measurement pixel. The disposition of the first and second measurement pixels are determined so as to satisfy the following condition: fG/fN≠odd number, wherein fG is a grid frequency and fN is a Nyquist frequency of pixels; and in shifting the grid C times by one pixel, the number of the first measurement pixels is larger than that of the second measurement pixels at any time in the range of a cycle C of a repetition pattern appearing in the image.

Provided is a preview image generating section configured to generate preview image during radiography for the purpose of providing a radiation tomography apparatus that allows suppression of unnecessary imaging time by displaying a condition of an image during the radiography in the process of diagnosis. An operator can recognize from the preview image how a subject appears in the image in a radiation tomography apparatus also during the radiography. This allows stopping the radiography before a diagnostic image having a suitable level of clearness for diagnosis is generated. As a result, a shorter imaging time is achieved, and burden to the subject can be suppressed.

Multimodal imaging apparatus

A multimodal imaging apparatus (1a, 1b) including scintillator elements (31) for capturing incident gamma quanta (25, 61) and for emitting scintillation photons (26) in response to said captured gamma quanta (25, 61). Photosensitive elements (33) capture the emitted scintillation photons (26) and determine a spatial distribution of the scintillation photons. The imaging apparatus (1a, 1b) is configured to be switched between a first operation mode for detecting low energy gamma quanta and a second operation mode for detecting high energy gamma quanta. The scintillator elements are arranged to capture incident gamma quanta (25, 61) from the same area of interest (65) in both operation modes. The scintillator elements (31) include a first region with high energy scintillator elements (27) for capturing high energy gamma quanta and a second region with low energy scintillator elements (29) for capturing low energy gamma quanta. A positioning mechanism (35) changes the orientation of the scintillator elements (31), in particular for tilting the scintillator elements (31), to switch between operation modes.
