ASIC applications in computed tomography systems
M.A. Wu · 2002
Describes the uses of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) in computed tomography (CT) diagnostic imaging systems, CT scanners currently in production and future systems under development use the full range of ASIC technologies, from field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to full-custom mixed-signal integrated circuits. Criteria for determining when to use ASICs and what type of ASIC to use are also discussed.>
