Title:
TOMOSYNTHESIS DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DRIVING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/158644
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a compact tomosynthesis device that uses a plurality of cold cathode X-ray sources. [Solution] This tomosynthesis device includes a plurality of cold cathode X-ray sources that irradiate a subject with X-rays, wherein the plurality of cold cathode X-ray sources is arranged two-dimensionally on a predetermined plane. This drive method for a tomosynthesis device is for a tomosynthesis device in which a plurality of cold cathode X-ray sources that illuminates a subject with X-rays is arranged two-dimensionally on a predetermined plane, and the plurality of cold cathode X-ray sources are caused to flash in turn.
