Guest guest Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hello, I am stuck on a terms in a paper concerning radiation doses in computed tomography. The term in French is " foyer flottant " in the sentence which is an explanation given under a table concerning " Collimation " which forms a line in the table. The phrase is: " * : 64 (ou 32) rangées de détecteurs utilisées permettant, avec le foyer flottant dans l’axe z, la reconstruction de 128 (ou 64) coupes par rotation. " I can find a French definition (see below) but I need the English equivalent of " foyer flottant " but after a couple of hours on it I have got nowhere. Any help would be much appreciated! The French definition is: L’utilisation sur certaines machines d’un foyer flottant (décalage du foyer d’une distance égale au quart de la largeur d’un détecteur) permet de doubler le nombre de mesures reçues par les détecteurs et d’améliorer la résolution spatiale axiale. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 High , Maybe you should read this : " GPU accelerated CT reconstruction for clinical use: quality driven performance " http://users.telenet.be/tomkimpe/papers/SPIE_mi07_6510_199.pdf they speak of " floating point " technique.
