Systems and methods for digital radiography are provided. The method may be implemented on the implemented on a DR system including an imaging device and a computing device. The computing device may include at least one processor and at least one storage device. The method may include directing multiple dose sensors to detect a dose of radiation rays emitted from a radiation source of the imaging device. The multiple dose sensors may correspond to multiple imaging detectors, respectively. The method may also include determining the dose of the radiation rays. The method may further include directing, based on the dose of the radiation rays, at least one imaging detector of the multiple imaging detectors to proceed to detect the radiation rays for generating an image of a target object to be examined.
Image display apparatus and image display method
A method includes displaying a first image including a living body on a display apparatus, accepting specifying of a first area on the first image, extracting a first feature point group from an area in the first image, the area being located in a distance more than a threshold from the first area, acquiring a second image including the living body, the second image being captured at different timing from the first image, extracting a second feature point group corresponding to the first feature point group, from the second image, generating, by a processor, transformation information based on a positional relationship between the first feature point group and the second feature point group, for carrying out an image registration between the second image and the first image, executing transformation processing by applying the transformation information to the second image, and displaying a third image generated by the transformation processing.
IINTERFACE FOR POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) SCANNER DETECTOR MODULE
An integrated interface of a detector module of a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) may include a power module, a clock module, a synchronization module, and a communication module. In one embodiment, Gigabit Ethernet, 10G Ethernet, Fast Ethernet (100M), 10M Ethernet or custom speed Ethernet based solution can be used in the communication module. In the power module, the power is can be transmitted by standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) method, while the clock can be recovered from Ethernet in the clock module. In the synchronization module, in one embodiment, the synchronization can be done through a dedicated package and/or IEEE1588. The integrated interface can be implemented in other systems. For example, it can be used in a gamma camera system or gamma probe, especially a dynamic gamma camera or handheld gamma camera.
ANALYSIS DEVICE AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM
An analysis device includes a controller. The analysis device receives moving images sent from a plurality of imaging devices, analyzes the received moving images, and sends an analysis result of a moving image to, among a plurality of display devices, a display device which has made a request to display so that the display device displays the analysis result. The controller controls a processing order of reception processes and analysis processes on moving images sent from the imaging devices according to degrees of priority preset for the respective imaging devices.
Multimode X-ray apparatus and method for the operation
In a method for producing 2-D recordings and 3-D recordings of a breast of a patient using an x-ray device that is operable in two recording modes and that has an x-ray radiation source and an x-ray radiation detector, the breast is placed between the x-ray radiation source and the x-ray radiation detector, and the 2-D recordings and the 3-D recordings are generated with the same breast placement. In order to keep the radiation exposure as low as possible in such a multi-mode x-ray device, all recordings are produced without the use of an anti-scatter grid, and a retroactive scattered radiation correction is implemented.
RADIOGRAPHIC CONTROL APPARATUS, RADIOGRAPHIC SYSTEM, RADIOGRAPHIC CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A radiographic control apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain position information about a transmission unit configured to transmit a radio wave based on a radio field intensity of the transmission unit and position information about a reception unit configured to receive the radio wave, the transmission unit being disposed on a radiographic apparatus configured to generate a radiographic image of a subject based on radiation emitted from a radiation generation apparatus, and a correction unit configured to correct the position information about the transmission unit using depth information about an area to which the radiographic apparatus belongs in an optical image captured by an imaging apparatus, the depth information being obtained from the optical image.
Imaging systems and methods
The present disclosure is related to imaging systems and methods. The method includes obtaining image data of a subject to be scanned by a medical device. The method includes determining a scan range of the subject based on the image data. The scan range includes at least one scan area of the subject. The method includes determining at least one parameter value of at least one scan parameter based on the at least one scan area of the subject.
REAL-TIME IMAGE PROCESSING FOR FLUOROSCOPIC IMAGING
A method for display of a fluoroscopic image sequence during ongoing image acquisition acquires and renders a first image of a subject on a display according to a first parameter setting, modifies the first parameter setting according to an operator instruction entered following acquisition of the first image, and applies the modified first parameter setting for acquiring and rendering one or more subsequent fluoroscopic images of the subject in the fluoroscopic image sequence.
RADIOGRAPH DENSITY DETECTION DEVICE
Systems and process are provided to make X-ray radiographs sufficiently quantitative and standardized for bone and other biological material or non-biologic material density evaluations. The X-ray radiograph methodology and system provide a cost effective diagnostic tool that may be used with existing X-ray radiography sources already present in many clinics and hospitals to ultimately produce large volumes of scientifically valid data and useful diagnostic and prognostic information. A calibration bar is added to a conventional X-ray film cartridge and images thereof subsequently incorporated into radiographs for interpretation or a cartridge is designed to integrate a calibration function. The calibration standard affords a standard against which material density is measured. A software program is provided to interpret tissue densities (including bone) to ultimately identify values compared to preselected thresholds.
System and method for the classification of healthiness index from chest radiographs of a healthy person
A method for classifying the degree of healthiness from chest radiographs comprises inputting image data with a medical imaging acquisition system or from individual's computers or smartphones or cloud storage devices. The image data is transmitted from the medical imaging acquisition system or from the computers or storage device to a computer-aided-analysis (CAA) system via the Internet and an archive/review station. Classification results are generated by processing the image data to perform lung segmentation and generate various radiomics, perform classification of radiomics. The classification results are transmitted from the CAA system to archive/review servers or the computers/smartphones via the Internet. The classification results are used to retrieve the associated clinical, wellness, and health knowledge from the database to form composite data. The composite data is sent to end users including patients, healthcare providers, consultants, and other authorized personnel and displayed by the archive/review system or the computers/smartphones.
