Chapter 2 System Description
2.1 System Summary
This system uses the attenuated X-Ray signal to reconstruct the body images
for the purpose of clinical diagnosis after X-Ray penetrates the scanned body.
Double detectors equipped in the system can acquire two images
simultaneously during each exposure.
2.1.1 Operating Principle

After patient positioning, operator set appropriate scan planning through
operating console and start scan.
Once a scan starts, the gantry rotates around the patient while the X-ray tube
discharges. The detectors collect and transform the X-Ray into electronic
signal after the X-Ray penetrates the body.
Then, DAS (Data Acquisition System) acquires electronic signals and converts
into digital signal, which is called raw data and received by operating console
computer. The computer then performs image reconstruction based on raw
data and displays the reconstructed images on the screen. The images can
also be printed as films through laser imager and transferred in DICOM format.
The images can be saved into CD ROM and hard disk.
2.1.2 System Composition

2.4 Accessories
The CT scanner described here provides the following accessories:
1. Coronary chin pad – Optional item. This head

holder is used for coronal head scans of
patients lying on their backs. The slope of the
holder positions the patient with the neck
extended and the head dropped back.
2. Neck Pads – standard item. For patient

comfort.
3. Head holder cushion and straps – Standard

item. The head holder is used for most routine
child or adult CT head exams. The angle of
the holder positions the head naturally for a
routine brain scan and minimizes the required
gantry angle to achieve optimal results.
Patients straps for immobilization.
4. Head Pad – standard item. For patient comfort.
5. Knee Pad – standard item. For patient comfort.
These accessories are made of polyurethane and won’t cause allergy to

4.2.3.4 Axial Scan
Axial scans are the normal CT mode of slice-by-slice scanning while the
Patient Table is motionless during the exposure, and the tube rotates around
the patient while radiating rays. If multi layers scan is needed, the back couch
will move to the position of next layer automatically according to the operator’s
setting, after one layer is completed till all the axial scan operation is
completed.
The axial scan operation can be performed after the pilot scan is completed,
and start after positioning is carried out on the film image, or it can be
performed directly after the scan part is determined by laser localizer without
the pilot scan process.
4.2.3.5 Spiral Scan
During spiral scan process, the X-ray tube rotates continuously to produce
X-ray beam and the patient table is incrementing continuously in the axial
direction. So the X-ray track in the scanning area is a spiral movement for the
patient under inspection.
The spiral scan operation can be performed after the pilot scan is completed,
and start after positioning is carried out on the film image, or it can be
performed directly after the scan part is determined by laser localizer without
the pilot scan process.
4.2.3.6 Reinforced and Scan Triggering
If user set the【Trigger】 parameter of a scan series (non-pilot series) as
Manual to perform the manual scan. Namely, the operators can control the
start time of rays discharging time. After the scan preparation is completed, the
information prompt box for discharging rays by manual is displayed before the
X-ray exposure. There is a certain limit for manual operation: a time display is
shown on the top from zero time with the unit as second after the prompt box
pops up. After the time exceeds 180 seconds, the scan is aborted
automatically if it is not started. Click【Start Scan】in 180 seconds, the rays
discharging operation is started if the Auto Voice item is not selected. If the
Auto Voice item is selected, the scan operation is started after the
corresponding voice tips are sent out.
Select the Contrast Scan from the Trigger list, the Contrast label is active, refer

Layer Scan (Locator), Tracking Scan (Tracker).
【PID】: Time duration from the injection time in reinforced scan. Unit: s.
The reinforced scan is performed after certain contrast media is injected into
intravenous. The multi-phase scan is the reinforced scan under CT multi-phase
condition. According to the different preset time segments, the artery phase,
vena phase and delay phase scan are performed respectively. Further
diagnosis is performed according to the different reinforced characteristics of
illness in various phases. The reinforced scan is carried out through setting the
parameters in【Reinforce】, namely, the contrast medium is used.

power, the capacity artifact is decreased significantly compared with scanned
image with 10mm technology, as is shown in the following figure. In the
combine images operation, there are at least two images and the couch code
shall be continuous.

7.1 Head and Body Phantom
Imaging performance of the scanner is checked by scanning head and body

system phantoms.
When testing image quality, the system should be properly calibrated.
The phantom consists of two portions which cover the aspects of head and
body scans. This section covers the specifications of both the head and body
portions of the phantom. Familiarize yourself with this information before you
scan either portion. The illustration below shows the entire phantom.
The head phantom is a PVC shell filled with water. It is 200 mm in diameter and
consists of three layers (See figure 7-1 and figure 7-2):
z Physical layer for impulse response and tomographic section thickness
(slice width) measurements.
z Water layer for measuring noise.
z Multi-pin layer for checking contrast scale.
The body phantom is a nylon cylinder 300 mm in diameter. It has an absorption
of 100 士 10 HU and includes these features:
z Teflon pin-absorption 890 士 50 HU
z Water hole-absorption 0 士 10 HU

The CTDI dosimetry phantoms are right circular cylinders of polymethyl
methacrylate (lucite). The density of these phantoms is 1.19 g/cm3. The head
phantom measures 16 cm in diameter and the body phantom has a diameter of
32 cm. The length of each phantom is 15 cm.
The phantom provides means for the placement of dosimeter(s) along its axis
of rotation and along a line parallel to the axis of rotation, 1.0 cm from the outer
surface and within the phantom. The dosimeters are TLD crystals (3.2 mm x
3.2 mm x 0.9 mm) or 10 cm long pencil ionization chamber.
2. CTDI Definition
Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) is the integral of the dose profile
along a line perpendicular to the tomographic plane divided by the product of
the nominal tomography section thickness and the number of tomograms
produced in a single scan, as follows:
1 +50mm
nT ∫-50mm
CTDI100 = D(z)dz

If the MTF is 100% or 1.0, it means there is no signal loss.
If the MTF is 0.0, it means there is no signal.
Actually, when MTF is between 0.05 and 0.02, objects with high contrast and
small aperture cannot be distinguished.

7.4.5 Image Quality - Definitions

1. Noise
The phantoms are placed on the patient table stretcher.
a. Head phantom
200mm diameter water with a PVC shell.
The CT number of water is 0 ± 4
b. Body phantom
300mm diameter Nylon (Aculon).
The CT number is 100 ±15.
c. Noise is measured using an ROI of:
7000 ± 2000 m m2 area for head phantom

15000 ± 1000 m m2 area for body phantom
The SD, as displayed on the screen, is divided by (AV + 1000) and multiplied
by 100 to transform the CT numbers to a percentage of the material
absorption.
The maximum deviation from the stated noise is 20%.
2. Modulation Transfer Function
454110019578
NeuViz Dual
User Manual
The impulse response and the tomographic thickness (slice thickness) are not
dependent upon the phantom dimensions. They are therefore measured on the
physics layer of the system phantom.
The phantom physics layer diameter is 200 mm diameter with PVC shell. The
impulse response is measured on a 0.18 mm copper wire using the Impulse
Response program.
The MTF curve is calculated from the impulse response on a separate
computer.
The maximum deviation of the MTF curve is ± 15%.
3. Tomographic Thickness Measurement
In the phantom shown in the Image Performance Quality Assurance chapter,
two aluminium strips at 45 deg. give projections of the sensitivity profile in the
image plane.
The profiles of the projections are equivalent to the sensitivity profiles, and the
FWHM of the profile is the nominal tomographic thickness.
The profile is measured by the Slice Width program.
The maximum deviation of the sensitivity profiles is 20%.
Notes： The 0.8 mm and 1.0 mm results appear wider than actual
with the ramp method due to the limited resolution of the
image and the thickness of the measuring ramp.

7.8 Radiology Safety
X-ray and gamma rays are dangerous to both operator and others in the
vicinity unless established safe exposure procedures are strictly observed.
The useful and scattered beams can produce serious or fatal bodily injuries to
patients and persons in the surrounding area if used by an unskilled operator.
Adequate precautions must always be taken to avoid exposure to the useful
beam, as well as to leakage radiation from within the source housing or to
scattered radiation resulting from passage of radiation through matter.
Those authorized to operate, participate in or supervise the operation of the
equipment must be thoroughly familiar and comply completely with the current
established safe exposure factors and procedures described in publications,
such as the “Diagnostic X-ray systems and their major components,” section of
subchapter J of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and the National
Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP) No 102, “Medical X-ray and gamma
