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.
X-RAY CT APPARATUS AND IMAGING CONDITION CALCULATING METHOD
According to one embodiment, an X-ray CT apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a plurality of discrete images at a corresponding plurality of discrete positions in a body axis direction of an object, and calculates imaging conditions corresponding to a scan range of a main scan based on the plurality of discrete images.
X-RAY MAMMOGRAPHY WITH TOMOSYNTHESIS
A method and system for producing tomosynthetic images of a patient's breast. An x-ray source that delivers x-rays through a breast immobilized and compressed between a compression paddle and a breast platform and form an image at a digital x-ray receptor panel. Multiple x-ray images are taken as the x-ray source and the receptor move relative to the immobilized breast. In one preferred embodiment, the x-ray source travels from 15 to +15. The source can travel in an arc around the breast while the receptor travels linearly while remaining parallel and at the same distance from the breast platform. The sets of x-ray image data taken at different angles are combined to form tomosynthetic images that can be viewed in different formats, alone or as an adjunct to conventional mammograms.
AUGMENTED REALITY GOGGLES HAVING X-RAY PROTECTION
A personal display apparatus includes a dual-use plate, a detector, and electronic circuitry. The dual-use plate is configured to be worn by a user while the user is viewing a scene, to block, at least partially, X-ray radiation from passing through the plate and reaching an eye of the user, and to display information to be viewed by the user overlaid on the scene. The detector is coupled to the plate and is configured to measure a level of the X-ray radiation. The electronic circuitry is connected to the plate and to the detector, and is configured to exchange display signals with the plate so as to display the information, and to send a control signal indicative of the level of the X-ray radiation measured by the detector.
Radiation image capturing system
According to one implementation of the present invention, there is provided a radiation image capturing system. The system includes, a radiation source; a plurality of radiation image capturing devices; and a console. The console manages which of the radiation image capturing devices is in a state where image capturing is possible. The console registers image capturing order information including information of which radiation image capturing device is used in the image capturing, or obtains the registered image capturing order information. When there is a radiation image capturing device in a state where image capturing is possible, regardless of a predetermined order, the console displays the icon corresponding to the image capturing order information including information of the radiation image capturing device in a manner different from the other icons.
Medical imaging apparatus and method of correcting medical image data based on output display characteristics in order to minimize discrepancies between the image data and the image displayed
Disclosed herein is a medical imaging apparatus and a control method for the same, particularly a technology configured to correct and convert medical image data. Therefore, based on medical image data acquired by a medical imaging apparatus performing medical imaging diagnosis, an image having the same quality as an image outputted on a display unit of the medical imaging may be outputted on other display device. The medical imaging apparatus includes a medical image acquisition unit acquiring medical image data of an object and a memory unit storing output image information of display device and display device information including the type of display device outputting a medical image of the object.
MEDICAL IMAGING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING A PERSON USING A MEDICAL IMAGING DEVICE
A medical imaging device is disclosed herein. The medical imaging device includes a user interface device for displaying information relevant to an imaging process to a user and/or receiving user input relevant to an imaging process and at least one component controllable according to a user command entered using the user interface device, wherein the user interface device includes at least one pair of mixed reality smart glasses.
Image handling and display in x-ray mammography and tomosynthesis
A method and system for acquiring, processing, storing, and displaying x-ray mammograms Mp tomosynthesis images Tr representative of breast slices, and x-ray tomosynthesis projection images Tp taken at different angles to a breast, where the Tr images are reconstructed from Tp images.
MOBILE RADIOGRAPHIC APPARATUS/METHODS WITH TOMOSYNTHESIS CAPABILITY
A mobile radiography apparatus has a moveable (e.g., wheeled) transport frame and an adjustable column mounted at the frame. A boom apparatus supported by the adjustable column can support an x-ray source assembly. Radiation or X-ray source assembly methods and/or apparatus embodiments can provide mobile radiography carts a capability to direct x-ray radiation towards a subject from one or a plurality of different source positions, where the X-ray source assembly includes a first x-ray power source and a second plurality of distributed x-ray sources disposed in a prescribed spatial relationship.
