In the design of oral cone beam CT, cooperation between synergic control of X-ray source, real-time acquisition of flat detector and motion of mechanical structure affects the CT image quality. Based on the full analysis of the flat detector's timing signal characteristics, this research was carried out with microprocessor controller (MCU), complex programmable logic device (CPLD), and light couplings to design and realize synchronous exposure control system. To evaluate whether the design of the synchronous exposure control system in this project could reach the required imaging accuracy, we employed the projected images in the system to analyze its stability, linear consistency, signal to noise ratio and precede the FDK construction.
