CT Scanner design resources and block diagram

CT Scanner

Computed tomography (CT) produces 3D images of internal human body parts from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation. When compared with a traditional X-ray radiography, a CT image exhibits significantly improved contrast.

Semiconductors play a very important role by delivering the intense image processing that CT requires, enabling systems with increased density, flexibility and high performance. TI delivers a range of solutions for CT systems, for channel card front end and control card subsystems, including:

Data Converters

DDC112
Dual Current Input 20-Bit Analog-To-Digital Converter
DDC114
Dual Current Input 20-Bit Analog-To-Digital Converter
DDC118
Octal Current-Input 20-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter
DDC232
The DDC232 is a 20-bit, 32-channel, current-input analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. It combines both current-to-voltage and A/D conversion so that 32 separate low-level current output devices, such as photodiodes, can be directly connected to its inputs and digitized
DDC316
The DDC316 is a 16-bit, 16-channel, current-input analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
