Abstract
ABSTRACT:
An X-ray examining device, comprising an X-ray image intensifier and a television pick-up tube and monitor involves film recording where film material can be arranged directly against the exit window of an X-ray image intensifier tube. As a result the customary, pivotable light distributor need not be included in the basic optical system between the X-ray image intensifier tube and the television pick-up tube, to that the basic optical system can be optimized to form a compact system offering optimum image transfer. Because the film recordings are made directly behind the exit window, a substantially lower radiation dose and less film mater-ial are required.

Description
~38 [)~3 The invention relates to an X-ray examin-ing device, comprising an X-ray image intensifier, pro-vided with a fibre-optical exit window, an optical image transfer system, and a television pick-up tube and moni-tor.
An examining device of this kind is known from United States Patent Specification 3,912,936. A
device described therein is suitable for medical X-ray examination during which direct visual observation (fluoroscopy) as well as image recording (exposure) are ; possible. It is customary to project a part of the image-carrying light beam emerging from a lens system, situated between an X-ray image intensifier tube and a television pick-up -tube, onto a filml and the other part onto a target of the television pick-up tube. For this purpose, use is made of, for example, a semi-reflective semi-transparent mirror or a prism. Particularly for making a ~ilm recording, a system of this kind requires a comparatively high radiation energy, be it for only a brief period of time. During the direct visual observ-ation, a much lower radiation energy suffices, be it that the duration of this observation is much longer.
In principle image information is lost in both methods, either by loss in the distribution optical system or by ;~ 25 non-optimum operation of the lens system due to the ~ space to be held open for the distribution optical sys-; tem.
' .
1~L38~3 12~ 1g78 2 PHN 9038 The in~en-tion has for its object to provide an X ray examining device in which a substantially lower radiation dose suffices, notably for filln racordings, while substantially all image information emerging from the X-ray image intensifier is effectively used for both methodsof observation. To this end, an X-ray examining devise of the described kind is characterized in that a film record-ing material can be arranged between the X-ray image inten-sifier and the optical system and can be pressed against the exit window of the X-ray image intensifier.
In an X-ray examining device in accordance with the invention, notably when a fibre-optical window is used as the exit window of an X-ray image intensîfier, sub-stan-tially all image information emerging from the X-ray image intensifier tube is recorded as a result of the direct contact with the X-ray image intensifier tube during film recording. As a result, an image can already be formed by means ~f a comparatively small radiation dose, the quan-tum noise in the image-carrying beam then usually deciding the dose limit.
~ In a preferred embGdiment in accordance with - the invention, the optical image transfer system is opti-mally adapted to the fact that a beam distribution system need no longer be included therein. Therefore, a more com~
pact construction can be realized, in which less Yigne-t-ting occurs so that improved image transfer to the tele-vision pick-up tube is ensured. ~or the control of the light beam on the target of the -television pick-up tube to be used, a preferably automatically adjustable aperture is included betwsen two parts of the optical system in a - preferred embodiment.
In a further preferred embodiment, use is made of a second fibre-optical window which can be readily exchanged so that, should damaging occur due to the pres~
sing of the film material, it is merely necessary to re-place this window, whilst the Y--ray image inlensifier tube itse]f is not damaged.
-~ In a further preferred e~bodiment yet, a ~3~
12~12-1978 3 PMN 9038 ~omparatively small optical element is included between two lens parts of the lens system iI; order to project in-formation or a code around an image to be recorded.
Contrary to known devices, the film material ~ is arranged in the image-carrying light beam without an intermediate adjustable aperture. A preferred embodiment in accordance with the invention comprises means for con-trolling the output intensity of the X-ray image intensi-fier. ~or this purpose use can be made of, for example, 1~ high voltage control of the X-ray image intensifier tube or a channel intensifier plate. Use can alternatively be ; made of filters, such as grey filters or polarization fil~
ters, whereby the light beam emergin.g from the X-ray image intensifier can be controlled.
Some preferred embodiments of the device in accordance with the inven-tion will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying diagramnla-tic drawing.
The drawing shows an X-ray examining d.evlce comprisin.g an X-ray source 1 for generating a beam of X-rays 2 which irradiates an object 3 to be examined, and an ~-ray image intensi-fier tube 4 for intercepting the image-carrying X~ray beam 2. The X-ray image intensifier tube shown compri.ses a concave entrance window 5 which is 25 pxeferabl~r made of a metal such as titanium or aluminium, and a fibre optical exit window 6. The tube accommodates a luminescent screen 7 which is preferably made of Th acti-vated or Na activated CsI which is deposited on a substrate 8. The CsI screen is preferably provided with a structure 30 as described in United States Patent Specification 3,825, 763. As a resul-t of the use of the screen structure des-cribed therein, optin1um resolution is obtained by the buil.t-in columnar structure in that transverse sca-ttering of luminescerlt light does not occur in the layer, whilst at the same time a high X-ray absorption is achicved in that -the layer thiclcness may be chosen to be comparatively : large9 for example, of from 200 to 300 /um. A photo cathode 9 is provided on the lu~inescent screen, with or without ~L~38~9~3 12-12-1~7~ 4 PH~T S038 an intermedlate separating layer. By means of a screen electrode 10, provided be-tween electrodes 11 and 12 and an output electrode 13, an electron beam which is formed by the luminescent light in the photo cathode is imaged on a luminescel1t screen 14 which is preferably provided direct-ly on the exit window. Brightness control of the X~ray image intensifier tube can be realized, for example, in known manner by varia-tion of the high voltage between the photo cathode 9 and the exit screen 14. It has been found that use is advan$ageously made of an X-ray image intensi-fier tube comprising a thick metal layer on the inner side of the exit luminescent screen, as described in United States Patent Specification 3,774,o38, or of the addition of a channel plate multiplier between the photo cathode ; ~5 and the exit luminescent screen. The use oP a channel multiplier plate offers the advantage that it is no-t necessary to vary the high voltage, a comparatively small variation of a voltage to be applied across the channel plate suffices.
Using an optical system 20, comprising two sections 21 and 22 and being known as a basic op-tical sys-tem or tandem optical system, an image transmitted by the exit window is imaged on a target 23 of a television pick-up tube 2~. The optical system 20 is preferably construct ed so that the beam is parallel between the two sections 21 and 22; as a result, local stopping is possible without giving rise -to a significant disturbance of the image.
For the purpose of stopping, an adjustable aperture 25 is locally provided, said aper-ture preferab]y being constructed so as to be automatically adjustable. A video signal de-rived frorn the television pick-up tube càn be displayed on a monitor 26 for observation.
In accordance with the invention, photo-sensitive material 27, for example, filrn material, can be 35 introduced between the exit window of the X-ray image intensifier tube and the first lens 21 of the basic opt-ical system. In the present embodiment, a film holder comprising a first chamber 28 for unexposed film ma-terial and a ~L3~3~93 12~12-1975 5 PHN 9038 second chamber 29 for exposed fllm material is lncl-lded.
These film holders may contain a roll of film rnaterial as well as a stack of cards provided with film windows. The film material is displaceable -therebetween, for example, in the form of` a long strip. Use can alternatively be made of loose film plates which are accommodated, for example, as a window in cards of a card system~ so that after de-velopment and any fur-ther treatment~ direct filing and projection at a later stage are possible. The fllm carrier is arranged to be slidable or pivotable into the space be-tween -the exit window and the lens system and can be pres-sed against the exit window by means of a ring 3O. When a pressing mechanism of this kind is combined with an - evacuation device for the air between the exit window and the film carrier, a reliable direct con-tact can be realized.
~or each film recording, a film carrier is inserted, pres-sed, exposed and advanced again. ~inematrographic record ing is also possible in a completely identical manner~ For optimum exposu-re of the film, a preferred embodiment u-ti-izes the fact -that the ~ilm carrier is always -to some extent transparen-t for the light to be recorded. The trans-mitted light is intercepted, for example, on Ihe television camera or on a photo cell, and the signal derived there-from is used in known manner for determining the expvsure time for tlle film recording. The quantity of light to be projected onto the television pick-up tube can be control-led by means of the aperture 25 which is preferabl-y con-structed as an automatically adjustable iris aperture.
In a prefarred embodiment, an additional optical element 31, for example, a prism, is included for projecting, .. . ~ . . .
for example, patient data on an edge portion of a film image to be rec^rded. When the opt:ical element 31 is con-structed ~s a l;ght distribution system, this information can be projected onto the film material as well as onto tlle te:levision pick-up tube. lhe element 31 may be compa-ratively small and can be arranged so tha-t the image--carrying beam is no-t disturbed thereby, so that no rele-vant fluoroscopy data are los-t.
~L3~3~9~
Because the recording takes place directly from the exit window of the X-ray image intensifier tube, having a diameter of, for example, 25mm, in an X-ray examining device in accordance with tl~e invention, not only -tha advantage of high sensi$ivity is obtained, but also the advantage of a substantial saving as regards the film material. As a result of the absence of an image dis--tribution system, which m-ust be clisplaced each time be-tween fluoroscopy and recording in known devices, a device having a high degree of reliability is realized.
