摘要:
A medical imaging system can include a frame that has a bore that has a central longitudinal axis that intersects a target area for imaging, and a radiation source to emit radiation in radial directions towards the target area to form a fan or cone of emitted radiation that irradiates a cross-section of the target area with respect to the longitudinal axis. The system can include one or more detector arrays including a plurality of detector segments that extend along a detector axis that extends in a direction that is effectively parallel to the longitudinal axis, such that radiation emitted from the radiation source passes through the target area and is incident on one or more of the detector segments. The detector segments can each include a detecting surface that is tilted such that the detecting surface has a tilt (e.g., a non-zero slope) with respect to the detector axis.
