Definitions
- the invention relates to an X-ray diagnostic device with a control device for optimum adjustment of the radiation of the X-ray source for the respective patient, in particular for mammography.
- the difficulty of determining the optimal exposure, even in mammography, is that the female breast is a very variable organ. Apart from the size, that is, in the compressed case of the thickness, the composition also varies from very high-fat to glandular tissue. This requires a precise adaptation of the exposure parameters .
- a measuring cell is arranged in the beam path behind the film cassette, which measures the radiation not absorbed by the amplifier film and uses it to control the exposure time.
- the beam hardening influences the measured values in such a way that, depending on the thickness of the breast, incorrect exposures may occur. This can in turn be solved with the help of a double detector.
- Digital solid-state detectors are linear over wide dose ranges and thus much more tolerant to different exposures. At high dose, overdriven by limiting and at low dose electronic noise plays a disturbing role. A novel concept for Control of mammography with such a detector was described in DE 100 19 242 A1.
- both the film-film system and the solid-state detector system have in common that for the adjustment of the beam quality, that is to say for the selection of the high voltage of the x-ray tube, only the thickness of the compressed breast is decisive.
- the variable to ⁇ composition of the breast is not considered. Therefore, the set voltage is not always optimal.
- No. 6,157,697 discloses a device with which both X-ray images and 3D distributions of the electrical impedance can be recorded.
- the measuring arrangement provided there serves to accommodate a three-dimensional
- a control unit which serves to correctly control the multiplicity of existing electrodes according to a specific pattern or to select parameter sets stored in the control unit for the operating parameters mentioned by means of a keyboard 14.
- Be ⁇ operating parameters of the x-ray emitter input directly from the keyboard.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, an X-ray diagnostic device in such a way that especially in mammography, the different consistency and Caribbeanset ⁇ tion of the body part to be X-ray detected and used for optimal adjustment of the radiation of the X-ray source.
- such an X-ray diagnostic device is characterized by a measuring arrangement coupled to the control device for determining the tissue composition of the body part to be examined, preferably in the form of an electrode for attachment to the body part to be examined, which is coupled to the control device thoroughlyfett analyseseinrich- tion, wherein the control device is installed ⁇ for optimal adjustment of the radiation of the X-ray source for each patient on the basis of the measured tissue composition.
- an optimized radiation examination can be carried out after the system has been pre-adjusted accordingly.
- optimum values for the anode and filter material, the filter thickness and the tube voltage are determined by simulation or phantom measurement for each combination of breast thickness and fat content and stored in, preferably in the control device. Tables are stored.
- the body fat analysis device may further Ausgestal ⁇ tung
- the invention is very simple as Elektroimpedanzmessein- direction be formed in the via two impedance-danzelektrodenpacke the skin resistance and the tissue was counter- ⁇ the examination region is determined.
- the electrodes and their electrical leads are formed of material permeable to X-rays and into which Compression plates are integrated.
- the electrodes and the electrical leads may consist of aluminum, an aluminum-magnesium alloy or an organic conductive polymer such as, for example, polyaniline or PEDOT (polyethylene thioxythiophene).
- an organic conductive polymer such as, for example, polyaniline or PEDOT (polyethylene thioxythiophene).
- control device additional patient-specific data, such as the thickness of the body part to be determined, ie especially the thickness of compressed breast plates, the compression force, the hormone and therapy status and the age of the patient and / or the presence of implants can be processed as parameters for optimizing the radiator setting.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an X-ray diagnostic device for mammography
- FIG. 2 and 3 partial views of the compression plates such as the arrangement of the so ⁇ for determining the overall webezusammen applicant serving electrodes, it being possible for these electrodes once from the compres sion ⁇ plates are separated and once tegriert in this in ⁇ .
- an inventive mammography Röntgen ⁇ is apparatus with a powered from a high voltage generator 1 with high and heating voltage X-ray tube 2 is shown which produces a cone-shaped X-rays 3, which penetrates to un ⁇ tersuchende Mamma 4 of a patient and on an X-ray 3 sensitive digital Fest stresses ⁇ image converter 5 beam images generated.
- the Festissoneckand ⁇ ler 5 contains, for example, switching elements of amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) and has arranged in a matrix Schm ⁇ points.
- X-rays 3 are arranged from ⁇ replaceable filter 6 near the X-ray tube. 2
- the output signal of the solid-state image converter 5 is fed to an image processing system 7, which may have converters, image memories and processing circuitry. It is connected to a monitor 8 for reproducing the recorded X-ray images.
- the user interface 9 is connected via a system control and communication 10 with the other components of the X-ray diagnostic device.
- the mamma to be examined 4 is pressed by a compression ⁇ plate 11 against a cover plate 12 at the inlet side of the solid state image converter 5.
- a feeler 13 measures the
- the measured thickness is transmitted ei ⁇ ner control device 14, which also may be part of the Hoch ⁇ voltage generator 1 or the image processing system. 7
- the X-radiation 3 penetrates partly the Mamma 4 and falls weakened on a region 16 of the solid-state image converter 5. Side of the Mamma 4 part of the X-radiation 3 strikes unattenuated, ie directly on a region 15 of the solid-state transducer fifth
- the X-ray diagnostic device shown schematically in FIG. 1 also contains two pairs of electrodes 17 and 18 which are compressed on opposite sides of the compression plates 11 and 12, respectively Mamma are to be arranged. About each arranged on the same side of the chest electrodes 17, 17 and 18, 18, the measurement of skin resistance, and via one of the Elect ⁇ clear 17 and 18, with transversely ver secureddem current through the chest, the measurement path of the fat content.
- the electrodes shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as separate components which are arranged on the opposite free sides of the breast, the variant shown in FIG.
- the electrodes 17 and 18 in the compression plates 11 and 12 are integrated, which of course makes it necessary that these electrodes and their leads from X-rays effetives ⁇ sigem material.
- the arrows 19 and 20 show the type of interconnection of the electrodes for measuring once the skin resistance (19) and in the case of the interconnection 20 of the Fettge ⁇ haltes.
