A radiation imaging system includes a plurality of imaging apparatuses configured to generate images based on radiation emitted from radiation generating apparatuses configured to perform radiation irradiation and a control apparatus configured to communicate with the plurality of the imaging apparatuses. The control apparatus comprises: an obtainment unit configured to obtain imaging information from each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses, a selection unit configured to select one imaging apparatus from the plurality of imaging apparatuses based on the imaging information obtained by the obtainment unit, and an image obtainment unit configured to obtain an image from the imaging apparatus selected by the selection unit, and the control apparatus further comprises a setting unit configured to set an imaging apparatus from which imaging information is obtained by the obtainment unit.

The present invention is directed to systems, methods and/or computer readable media for facilitating a new medical image interpretation workflow. User actions typically are monitored using peripheral devices such as eye-trackers to infer information gleaned from the user (e.g., predicting user actions based on a pattern or detecting a visual search pattern which is inadequate). Orchestration of this information in tandem with a computer aided detection and/or diagnosis systems (“CAD”) system offers an opportunity to reduce the volume of interaction required of the user to complete the image interpretation task and/or reduce the incidence of errors during the image interpretation task.

A system to calibrate, monitor, and communicate compliance reporting of monochromatic imagery on an image presentation device includes a local terminal in operative communication with a remote host. The local terminal includes an image presentation device, an application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”), and a terminal application in communication with the ASIC. The terminal application is configured to initiate a verification task, via the ASIC, pertaining to an operating condition of the image presentation device and to communicate a verification report about a result of the verification task to a remote host. A system provides a mechanism to remotely monitor and calibrate medical imaging image presentation device and diagnosis devices to certify diagnosis quality and retain trustworthy data for legal compliance.

A radiation-irradiation system includes a radiation generating device that includes an exposure switch unit and a display device that includes a touch panel; the display device is adapted to be detachably mounted on the radiation generating device and displays an exposure switch mark on the touch panel; and an emission control unit validly receives only an irradiation instruction for radiation of the exposure switch unit in a case in which the display device is installed on the radiation generating device, and validly receives only an irradiation instruction for radiation of the exposure switch mark in the case of a state in which the display device is separated from the radiation generating device.

The present invention discloses a computed tomography (CT) system and a CT image reconstruction method. The method is implemented by an information processing system module, a display terminal module, an image reconstruction system module and a CT system module. The information processing system module is composed of an information receiving system module, an information sending system module and an information processing system module. During scanning, different nodes are arranged and quickly scanned to obtain data of a node, and then data of different nodes is synchronized, collected and summarized, so that a reconstruction unit can be analyzed, an objective function can be optimized, and data can be quickly analyzed and processed. In this way, the CT system and the CT image reconstruction method resolve the problems that an existing CT system and CT image reconstruction method have high requirements for projection data sets, and scanning requires a long time.

A controller generates, based on a position of a marker in an X-ray image, an intermediate image in which a device inserted into a subject's body is displayed. After the generation of the intermediate image, the controller matches the marker of the X-ray image with a marker of the intermediate image based on the position of the marker in the X-ray image and a position of a marker in the intermediate image to align the X-ray image and the intermediate image with each other every time the X-ray image is newly generated. The controller then controls the display to display an overlaid image generated by overlaying the X-ray image and the intermediate image aligned with each other.

A detection unit detects a region of a surgical tool in a radiographic image of a patient. In a case in which the surgical tool is detected, a display control unit displays the radiographic image on a display unit such that the detected region of the surgical tool is highlighted.

A physician performing a physical examination can miss subtle abnormalities, such as alterations of respiratory rate or dangerous skin lesion. A surgeon performing surgery can miss small areas of bleeding or tumor implants. This invention comprises head display unit comprising sensors that gathers data and in real time analyzes the data for potential hazards and alerts the user of a potential hazardous scenario.

Sterile barriers or sterile drapes that can be used with medical devices, including hand-held or self-supported X-ray equipment, are described in this application. In particular, this application describes sterile drapes that can be used with a medical device, the drape comprising a closed end portion, a middle portion with a size sufficient to enclose a part of the medical device being used near a patient, and an open end portion, the end portion configured to be closed by a user once the middle portion encloses the part of the medical device being used near a patient, wherein the sterile drape creates a sterile barrier around substantially the entire medical device once the open end is closed. Using the sterile drape allows the medical device, such as a hand-held or self-supported X-ray device, to be used in a medical procedure that requires a sterile field near the patient without disrupting that sterile field. Other embodiments are described.

The present invention relates to monitors. In order to facilitate mounting a monitor, a suspendable monitor (10) is provided for a ceiling suspended monitor system. The suspendable monitor comprises a video display (12), a structural frame (14), and a system interface (16). The video display is mounted to a front surface (18) of the structural frame. The system interface is mounted to the structural frame at one end and mountable to the ceiling suspended monitor system at the other end for suspending the suspendable monitor.
