A radiological imaging device configured to be used for the analysis of a limb and including a first module including a source configured to emit radiation and a second module including a detector configured to receive the radiation. The device also includes a platform including a first analysis area delimited by a first outer through opening and a first inner through opening and a second analysis area delimited by a second outer through opening and a second inner through opening. Also, the device includes a drive unit that controls the movement of the first and second modules.

Provided is a compound including at least one carrier moiety associated with a plurality of CT imaging moieties, and with at least one enzyme interacting moiety as well as uses thereof in diagnosis.

A rotary imaging system, a plant imager, an animal imager, and an animal and plant imager, relating to the technical field of living sample imaging. The plant imager, the animal imager, and the animal and plant imager all comprise a rotary imaging system. The rotary imaging system comprises the sample table unit is used for carrying a sample; the camera unit is used for imaging the sample; the rotation unit comprises an accommodating cavity accommodating the sample table unit, and the rotation unit is used for driving the camera unit to rotate with respect to the sample table unit and controlling the camera unit to be stationary with respect to the sample table unit. By means of rotary imaging system, powerful data support is provided for the subsequent image reconstruction and image fusion, and the number of cameras required for imaging different parts of a sample is also reduced.

The present invention provides a system and method for performing a single-scan rest-stress cardiac measurement. In one aspect, the system includes a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging system, a source of a first PET radiotracer for administration to a subject, a source of a second PET radiotracer for administration to a subject, and a processor. The processor has non-transient computer readable media programmed with instructions to obtain PET images of the subject administered with the radiotracer. Furthermore, the computer readable media is programmed with instructions to process the PET images with a non-steady-state, multi-compartment parametric model. An output of the non-steady-state, multi-compartment parametric model is a measure of myocardial blood flow for both a rest state and a stress state of the subject.

A specimen radiography system may include a controller and a cabinet. The cabinet may include an x-ray source, an x-ray detector, and a specimen drawer disposed between the x-ray source and the x-ray detector. The specimen drawer may be automatically positionable along a vertical axis between the x-ray source and the x-ray detector.

A composition for internal imaging of a subject includes an imaging contrast agent and one or more carrier agents that can pass through cellular and tissue membranes. Examples of imaging contrast agents are iodine-based, silver-based, or barium-based. Examples of carrier agents are dimethyl sulfoxide, urea, or an alcohol. Methods for internally imaging a subject using such a composition are also disclosed.

A holding device for simultaneously holding several small animals includes at least three beds each for a small animal. Each bed is attached to a respective holder element. The holding device is geometrically constructed and mechanically configured where two of the holder elements can be moved together with their respective beds above a third holder element without changing the vertical orientation of the beds being attached to the two holder elements. This provides a compact holding device for a multitude of small animals facilitating flexible and easy access to each small animal when attached to the holder for generating a 3D image of all animals at the same time, e.g., in an MRI, PET, CT scanner or the like. The holding system is easy to use, in particular for rats or mice, and can easily be applied in a wide variety of locations through its small and compact construction.

An imaging apparatus for use with an imaging device in order to image a subject. The imaging device includes an annular gantry having an opening and a table to accommodate the subject or a portion thereof for imaging. The imaging apparatus includes a platform and a positioning device. The imaging device is mounted to the platform. The annular gantry is in a fixed position relative to the platform. The table is horizontally displaceable relative to the annular gantry. The positioning device supports the platform and is configured to horizontally displace the platform relative to a supporting surface for the subject. The positioning device is configured to position the platform with the imaging device in at least one operational state in such a way that, during a relative movement of the table with respect to the annular gantry, the table remains stationary relative to the supporting surface.

The present invention relates to the field of medical imaging in the absence of contrast agents. In one form, the invention relates to the field of imaging vessels, particularly blood vessels such as the pulmonary vasculature and is suitable for use as a technique for detecting pulmonary embolism (PE), such as acute PE. Embodiments of the present invention provide improved image processing techniques having the capability to extract and use image data to overcome the need for contrast agents to distinguish between different types of tissue. Furthermore, it has also been realised that the image data accessed by the improved image processing can be used to identify irregularities in vessels.

An imaging system that is configured to automatically obtain and provide two and three-dimensional digital images of various types of objects (e.g., tissue specimens, animals, electrical devices, etc.) for use in analysis thereof in a manner free of manual repositioning of the objects between images and free of movement of an electromagnetic radiation source and detector within or relative to a cabinet housing of the system.
