The present invention relates to an apparatus (20) for real-time visualizing a movement of a lower jaw (12) versus an upper jaw (14) in a craniomaxillofacial area (16) of a patient (18) in dental diagnostics, comprising: an input interface (32) for receiving a two-dimensional image signal (26) of the craniomaxillofacial area of the patient from a camera (40) and a three-dimensional jaw model (28) of the craniomaxillofacial area of the patient being precalculated based on volume data; a registration unit (34) for registering the three-dimensional jaw model with the two-dimensional image signal in a first jaw position of the lower jaw versus the upper jaw and in a second jaw position of the lower jaw versus the upper jaw; an imaging unit (36) for generating a two-dimensional depth-view (30) of the craniomaxillofacial area from the three-dimensional jaw model based on the conducted registrations and the two-dimensional image signal, said two-dimensional depth-view including a structure underlying an image area of the two-dimensional image signal; and an output interface (38) for outputting the two-dimensional depth-view. The present invention further relates to a system (10) and method for real-time visualizing a movement of a lower jaw (12) versus an upper jaw (14) in a craniomaxillofacial area (16) of a patient (18) in dental diagnostics.

A medical imaging and/or radiotherapy apparatus incorporates a display for projecting a visible image to a patient lying on a patient table. A projector that projects the visible image moves in tandem with the patient table, so that it appears relatively motionless to the patient. In exemplary embodiments, the projector projects the visible image within a patient tunnel of the medical apparatus, including in some embodiments, an extended field of view medical imaging apparatus. In other exemplary embodiments, the projector projects the visible image on a screen above the patient table of a tunnel-less medical apparatus. The projector remains outside the imaging line of response of detectors within the imaging field or outside of the radiotherapy beam zone, to avoid potential degradation of the captured diagnostic image or degradation of the radiotherapy beam.

Proposed is an X-ray imaging stand with a straight arm structure, the X-ray imaging stand including a detector comprising an X-ray detection module and a detector arm configured to support the X-ray detection module, an imaging module comprising an X-ray imaging tube and a tube arm configured to support the X-ray imaging tube, a main arm, each of the detector and the imaging module being connected to the main arm, and a stand main-body configured to force the main arm to ascend and descend and to be rotated, wherein the detector and the imaging module are configured in such a manner as to have the same weight, and the detector arm and the tube arm are both accommodated within the main arm, and are moved slidably in conjunction with each other in such a manner as to expand and contract in opposite directions with the main arm in between.
