What changes or help will slip ring technology bring to the medical field? In CT examination, through the collimation of the X-ray collimation system, cross-sectional images without interference from extra-slice tissue structures can be obtained. Compared with conventional X-ray tomography, the cross-sectional images obtained by CT have accurate slice thickness, clear images, high density resolution, and no interference from structures other than slices. In addition, the cross-sectional images obtained by CT scanning can also be processed and reorganized by computer software to obtain multi-plane (such as coronal, sagittal) cross-sectional images required for diagnosis. A CT scanner operates by rotating an X-ray tube and X-ray detector array around the patient at 120-280 RPM, the X-ray beam is directed through the patient's body to be captured by the detector array for subsequent images One of the key technologies to create and significantly improve CT performance is slip ring technology, which enables continuous improvement in image and diagnostic capabilities. As a slip ring designer and manufacturer, we cooperate with many important CT system manufacturers to provide reliable large diameter conductive slip ring solutions.
Advantages of through bore slip ring in the medical field:
1. Fiber brush technology, long service life, maintenance-free, less debris;
2. Low noise, making the mechanical system quieter;
3. Options for optical or capacitive coupling channels for high-speed data communication;
4. High circuit density and compact design;
5. Large aperture design, the inner diameter is about 50 inches (1270 mm);
The error-free transmission of image data from the X-ray detector array at data rates up to 20 Gb per second is a key element of the CT slip ring design. This transmission is accomplished via optical or capacitive data channels, using patented fiber brush technology, Several kilowatts of electrical power are transmitted at 200+ RPM through sliding electrical contacts on a one meter diameter ring.
