A method is for selection of a new detector module as replacement for a detector module built in to a detector of an X-ray computer tomograph. The method includes production of the detector module, using component with an unique electronically-stored code and generation of a data set containing the essential parameters of each detector module with reference to the code of each detector module. The method further includes storage of the data set and the codes in an electronic databank and electronic reading of the code of the detector module for exchange and comparison of the relevant stored data set with the data sets for new detector modules. Finally, the method includes selection of a new detector module according to set selection criteria.

A grid module of a scattered-radiation grid is disclosed. The scattered-radiation grid includes a number of grid modules disposed next to one another with a plurality of webs, especially for use in conjunction with a CT detector, a CT detector and a CT system with such a detector. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, at the joining surfaces of the grid modules, the webs located there are provided with breakthroughs to compensate for a disproportionate reduction in scattered radiation.

A method is disclosed for transmitting measurement data from a transmitter system to a receiver system by way of a transmission link of a medical device. In an embodiment, the measurement data, as input data of a transformation method, is transformed to output values and, after transmission, back transformed again, the values of the input data lying between a maximum value and a minimum value and an assignment function being used for compression purposes, to allocate an output value to every value of the input data, a root function being used as the assignment function for at least some of the values.

A radiation detector is disclosed for the detection of ionizing radiation, preferably in a medical diagnosis and/or therapy system, having at least one detector element which is at least partially enclosed by an encapsulation compound. The encapsulation compound at least partially reflects light which is produced during the absorption of the ionizing radiation in the at least one detector element. Further, the detection of the radiation is carried out indirectly by detection of the generated light, wherein the encapsulation compound is made of a multicomponent mixture which converts compounds produced because of radiation, which generate color changes of the encapsulation compound, at least partially into colorless nonabsorbing compounds.

A printed circuit board arrangement with a flexible layer arrangement of at least one electrically conductive layer with a large number of conductor tracks lying next to one another and surrounded by electrically isolating layers has at least one printed circuit board firmly connected to a portion of the flexible layer arrangement and accommodating a component. To form a connection between the component and the conductor tracks of the flexible layer, an opening through the printed circuit board to the conductor tracks is provided, which opening may be stepped, so that different conductor tracks and different layers can be reached.

A method and a control device are for controlling the temperature of a detector system inside a computed tomography unit. The CT unit includes a rotatable gantry with a gantry housing in which both an X-ray tube and the detector system are located. The detector system is arranged, in turn, inside a detector housing. The air temperature is set in the gantry housing via a temperature-controlled air circulation. The temperature of the ambient air of the detector housing is set by a control system that uses the temperature of the detector system as controlled variable.

An x-ray apparatus is provided which allows the diaphragm aperture and the diaphragm position to be precisely identified in a simple manner. For this purpose, a radiation imaging system is provided which produces an image of the aperture of the primary diaphragm on a radiation-electrical transducer, the radiation-electrical transducer on which the aperture is imaged being separate from the radiation detector on which the complete diagnostics image is produced. The radiation-electrical transducer is followed by evaluation electronics for forming electrical signals corresponding to the diaphragm aperture size and position.

A circuit is disclosed, integrated in a semiconductor material, for measuring signals of a sensor assigned to the integrated circuit. In at least one embodiment, the circuit includes an active component; a temperature sensor; and a circuit to control the temperature of the semiconductor material. The active component is provided to treat the measuring signals produced by the sensor and the active component is drivable by the circuit to control the temperature in such a way that the temperature of the semiconductor material is variable. Further, the circuit includes at least one of a PI and PID controller to control the temperature. A method for controlling the temperature of a semiconductor material that has an integrated circuit is further disclosed.

A data acquisition and data reduction system (DERS) are disclosed for acquiring and compressing image data generated and loaded by an image data detection unit (DE) of an imaging system (BGS) in which the data acquisition and data reduction system (DERS) is integrated. The imaging system (BGS) can, for example, in this case be a conventional x-ray, computed tomography or magnetic resonance tomography machine for high resolution radiographic, CT or MRI based display of interesting tissue regions of a patient to be examined. At least one embodiment of the present invention relates chiefly to a data compression module (DKM) integrated in the front end of the data acquisition and data reduction system (DERS), and to an associated method for acquiring comprised image data with the aid of which the data throughput rate of an image processing and image visualization system (BVS, AB) connected to the x-ray, CT or MRI machine can be improved. In order to accomplish the data reduction, in addition to loss free, reversible compression and coding methods that are operated, for example, using the principle of run length coding, Shannon Fano entropy coding, Huffman coding or Lempel Ziv Welch coding, it is also possible in at least one embodiment to use lossy compression and coding methods that are based, for example on the principle of discrete cosine transformation, wavelet transformation or geometric or fractal image compression.
