A medical diagnostic-imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a gantry device and a processing circuitry. The gantry device includes an opening in which a subject is inserted. The processing circuitry is configured to set an inserting range indicating a range in which the subject is inserted into the opening by move of the subject or by move of the gantry device based on a scan plan. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire a position of the subject in the inserting range as first position information. The processing circuitry is configured to determine whether the subject interferes with the gantry device based on the first position information.

An operating device for a medical system for imaging and/or intervention is disclosed. In an embodiment, the operating device includes a housing; a grip region; a coupling unit; and a connecting unit. The connecting unit is configured to releasably connect to a holding structure for the operating device and, via the coupling unit, is coupled to the grip region such that a releasing of a releasable connection is caused by a gripping of the grip region with one hand of a person and an establishing of the releasable connection is caused by a letting go of the grip region. Further, the grip region is configured for carrying of the operating device by a gripping the grip region with one hand of the person.

A method of imaging a breast of a patient using an imaging system includes applying, with a first component of the imaging system, a compressive force to the breast. A second component of the imaging system is positioned in a start position. The imaging system sends a first guidance signal to the patient. An imaging procedure of the breast is performed with the second component of the imaging system. Subsequent to performing the imaging procedure, a second guidance signal is sent to the patient.

A wireless intraoral dental x-ray imaging sensor and method of use. The sensor optionally has a rechargeable battery located away from the edge of a PCB/ceramic substrate to enable encapsulation. The sensor has a compact microcontroller unit with several blocks including a radiolink, processing capacity, and a low power management system. Bit truncation and image compression take place on a readout substrate and/or on the MCU. External memory blocks allow for at least partial image storage for safety and as a backup.

A radiation imaging system and a radiation imaging method are provided. The radiation imaging system includes a remote-control module and an imaging device. The imaging device has a radiation isolation cavity. The radiation isolation cavity includes a radiation irradiation area adapted for placing an object under test. The imaging device includes a controller, a radiation source, and a flat panel detector. The radiation source is disposed on a top of the radiation isolation cavity and faces the radiation irradiation area. The flat panel detector is disposed below the radiation exposure area. During a preparation for exposure, the controller turns on the radiation source. When the controller receives an activation signal output by the remote-control module, the controller operates the flat panel detector to obtain a radiation image corresponding to the object under test.

An operation device comprises a detector configured to detect an operation on a virtual switch by an operator to operate an X-ray irradiation in an X-ray diagnosis apparatus, wherein the virtual switch is virtually set at a position settled relatively with respect to the operator and output circuitry configured to output a detection result of the operation detected by the detector to the X-ray diagnosis apparatus to be operated. This device eliminates the need for looking away from a display monitor every time the operator operates the X-ray diagnosis apparatus.

There is provided a radiation detector including: a radiation detection unit that generates and outputs a radiation image from an electric charge generated in response to emitted radiation; and a communication unit that operates as a master to perform wireless communication with a slave and that is prevented from being directly connected to a global network, in a case of transmitting the radiation image generated by the radiation detection unit.

The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for obtaining a radiographic image. The method may include obtaining a control instruction for controlling an imaging device to image a subject; determining, based on information reflecting a user's behavior in using the imaging device, adjustment parameters of a radiation generating device in the imaging device; and based on the control instruction, determining target exposure parameters at least based on a parameter control curve or biological information of the subject, the parameter control curve including a preset first parameter control curve or a second parameter control curve determined based on operation data of the imaging device, and the biological information including at least a weight and an overall content of each component of the subject; and imaging, based on the target exposure parameters, the subject to obtain the radiographic image.

An imaging device positioning system for monitoring an anatomical region (10). The imaging device positioning system employs an imaging device (20) for generating an image (21) of an anatomical region (10). The imaging device positioning system further employs an imaging device controller (30) for controlling a positioning of the imaging device (20) relative to the anatomical region (10). During a generation by the imaging device (20) of the image (21) of the anatomical region (10), the imaging device controller (30) adapts the positioning of the imaging device (20) relative to the anatomical region (10) to a physiological condition of the anatomical region (10) extracted from the image (21) of the anatomical region (10).

Versatile, multimode radiographic systems and methods utilize portable energy emitters and radiation-tracking detectors. The x-ray emitter may include a digital camera and, optionally, a thermal imaging camera to provide for fluoroscopic, digital, and infrared thermal imagery of a patient for the purpose of aiding diagnostic, surgical, and non-surgical interventions. The emitter may cooperative with an inventive x-ray capture stage that automatically pivots, orients and aligns itself with the emitter to maximize exposure quality and safety. The combined system uses less power, corrects for any skew or perspective in the emission, allows the subject to remain in place, and allows the surgeon’s workflow to continue uninterrupted.
