ABSTRACT:
An improved computer assisted tomographic scanner is disclosed. The scanner includes a source of X-radiation and an array of detectors for determining X-ray intensity once that radiation has passed through a patient. The source emits a spread of radiation which is filtered to comprise a spread of two distinct energy ranges before the radiation reaches the patient. This filtering produces multiple intensity readings for a given X-ray path: thereby allowing imaging electronics within the scanner to reduce chromatic artifacts and provide electron density and atomic number mappings to the diagnostician.
