In one embodiment the tablet arm includes an upper portion configured to rotate a mounted electronic device relative to a central axis of the upper portion and a lower portion coupled to the upper portion and extending downwards, away from the upper portion along a vertical axis perpendicular to the central axis, the upper portion and lower portion forming a hollow structure configured to house cables of an electronic device.
MODULAR ULTRASOUND SYSTEM
An ultrasound system includes a display, an actuator, a user interface, and a processing circuit. The actuator is configured to control at least one of a position or an orientation of the display. The user interface is configured to receive a user input. The processing circuit is configured to cause the actuator to adjust the at least one of the position or orientation of the display based on the user input.
MULTI-SCREEN IMAGING SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED WORKFLOW
A tube arm assembly is rotatably connected to the floor mounted gantry of a breast imaging system. A support arm connected to the tube arm assembly can be independently rotated and positioned in a first angle, second angle, and a level position. A compression arm is configured to support a breast compression paddle and is linearly positionable on the support arm. Display screens and a sensor are disposed on an upper surface of the compression arm. Based on a signal received from the sensor, a controller is configured to change the read-ready orientation of each arm display.
X-RAY PRE-EXPOSURE CONTROL DEVICE
The invention relates to an X-ray pre-exposure control device (10), an X-ray imaging system (1), an X-ray imaging method, and a computer program element for controlling such device and a computer readable medium having stored such computer program element. The X-ray pre-exposure control device (10) comprises a subject detection unit (11), a subject model unit (12), an interface unit (13), a processing unit (14), and a display unit (15). The subject detection unit (11) is configured to detect subject data of the subject (111) to be exposed. The subject model unit (12) is configured to provide a subject model and to refine the subject model based on the subject data into a refined subject model. The interface unit (13) is configured to provide setting data of an X-ray unit (131) to be used for exposing the subject. The processing unit (14) is configured to calculate a virtual X-ray projection (151) based on the refined subject model and the provided setting data. The display unit (15) is configured to display the virtual X-ray projection (151).
MEDICAL IMAGING APPARATUS
A medical imaging apparatus is provided. The medical imaging apparatus includes a table on which a subject lies and that carries the subject; a gantry that forms an internal space and scans the subject carried into the internal space; a screen unit mounted on the gantry or outside the gantry; and an image projector that projects an image onto the screen unit. In accordance with embodiments of the medical imaging apparatus, various content may be provided for a person subject to scanning to relieve his/her boredom or inconvenience during the scanning process.
RADIATION IMAGING APPARATUS, AND INSERTION STATE DETERMINATION METHOD
Provided is a medical image imaging apparatus that images a medical image of a breast, including a determination unit configured to determine an insertion state of the breast based on a form of the breast inserted into an imaging area for the medical image from an insertion portion.
X-RAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING X-RAY IRRADIATION AREA USING THE SAME
An X-ray device includes a camera to image an object and output the image of the object, a display member using a touch screen to display the image of the object output from the camera, and an X-ray irradiation region of the object, an X-ray irradiation region controller to control a region of the object to which an X-ray is irradiated, and a control member to enable the irradiation region controller to control the region of the object to which an X-ray is irradiated according to the X-ray irradiation region, when the X-ray irradiation region is determined, based on the image of the object displayed in the display member.
Radiographic system and control method thereof
A radiographic system includes a photographic unit; an operating panel including a button configured to be pressed to indicate that a movement direction of the photographic unit is to be limited to a specific movement direction; a measurement unit provided between the operating panel and the photographic unit and configured to measure a magnitude and a direction of an external force applied to the operating panel; and a drive unit configured to move the photographic unit only in the specific movement direction based on the magnitude and the direction of the external force measured by the measurement unit in response to the button being pressed.
GUIDANCE DURING X-RAY IMAGING
The present invention relates to user guiding during X-ray imaging. In order to provide further guidance during X-ray imaging, a guiding device (10) for visual guidance during X-ray imaging is provided. The guiding device (10) comprises a camera arrangement (12), a display arrangement (14) and a housing structure (16). The housing structure comprises a housing (18) of an X-ray imaging system for housing an X-ray source or an X-ray detector. Further, the camera arrangement is configured to capture image data of a region of interest of a subject in front of the housing. Furthermore, the display arrangement is configured to present the captured image data as a live presentation of the region of interest. Still further, the camera arrangement is mounted to the housing on a first side (20) of the housing, and the display arrangement is mounted to the housing on a second side (22) of the housing, the second side being at least one of the group of lateral and opposite to the first side. Hence, the display arrangement is configured to provide a presentation comprising live images from the first side to a user located on the second side of the housing.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EDITING A PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPHY IMAGE
The present invention relates to a device for editing a panoramic radiography image of an examination object generated by a panoramic X-ray machine, comprising: an input interface for receiving the panoramic radiography image as well as reconstruction data of the panoramic radiography image, the reconstruction data including information on a course of projection lines of the panoramic radiography image between an X-ray source and an X-ray detector of the panoramic X-ray machine as well as information on an image surface of the panoramic radiography image; an evaluation unit for evaluating the reconstruction data and for determining an image section of the panoramic radiography image that has been generated on the basis of one of the projection lines with two intersection points with the image surface; an image editing unit for editing the panoramic radiography image based on the determined image section; and an output unit for outputting the edited panoramic radiography image.
