Development of a compact tomography camera system using a multianode photomultiplier tube for compact torus
1Department of Physics, College of Science and Technology, Nihon University, Tokyo 101-8308, Japan.
Abstract:
A compact tomography camera system consisting of a photomultiplier tube, a multislit optical system, and a band-pass interference filter has been developed. The viewing area and spatial resolution can be configured by the arrangement of the slit system. The camera system has been specially designed for self-organized compact torus experiments having strong magnetohydrodynamics events with a submicrosecond time-scale. The developed system has been tested on a field-reversed configuration formed by the field-reversed theta-pinch. Performance evaluation of the system has been performed by comparison to the former optical system.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
