MEDICAL USER INTERFACES AND RELATED METHODS OF USE
A medical system for use in a lithotripsy procedure may include a processor configured to receive input from a first imaging device, wherein the first imaging device may be configured to send image data representative of an image captured in a lumen of a kidney, bladder, or ureter to the processor. The processor may be configured to display the image on a display device coupled to the processor, and analyze the image to sense the presence of an object within the image. If an object was sensed within the image, the processor may analyze the image to estimate a size of the object, and display the estimate on the display device.
STATIONARY INTRAORAL TOMOSYNTHESIS IMAGING SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR THREE DIMENSIONAL DENTAL IMAGING
Intraoral three-dimensional (3D) tomosynthesis imaging systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are used to generate one or more two-dimensional (2D) x-ray projection images and to reconstruct, using a computing platform, the one or more 2D x-ray projection images into one or more 3D images of an object, such as teeth of a patient, which can then be displayed on a monitor in order to enhance diagnostic accuracy of dental disease. The intraoral 3D tomosynthesis imaging system can include a wall-mountable control unit connected to one end of an articulating arm, the other end of which is connected to an x-ray source, which is configured to generate x-ray radiation that is acquired by an x-ray detector held at a desired position by an x-ray detector holder that is removably coupled to a collimator at an emission region of the x-ray source.
X-ray imaging apparatus
This X-ray imaging apparatus (100) includes an X-ray irradiation detection unit (1) including an X-ray tube (11) and an FPD (2), a table (2) on which a subject (10) is placed, and a control unit (3) that synthesizes a first X-ray image obtained by sequentially performing X-ray imaging using a contrast medium while moving the table relative to the X-ray irradiation detection unit and a second X-ray image obtained by radiographing, without using the contrast medium, the subject at one position selected based on the first X-ray image.
Radiography system and method for operating radiography system
A position detection unit is disposed at an exposure position that is included in a camera image and a field of view of a camera and outputs a position signal indicating the position of a part of a peripheral portion of an electronic cassette. The calculation unit calculates an in-image cassette position which is the position of the electronic cassette in the camera image, on the basis of the position, direction, and size of the position detection unit in the camera image and the position signal. A composite image generation unit generates a composite image of the camera image and a cassette frame indicating the in-image cassette position. A display controller displays the composite image on a touch panel.
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.
C-arm imaging system having coaxial independent rotation of monitors
A C-arm X-ray imaging system is provided. The C-arm X-ray imaging system includes a base, an extension arm, a first monitor coupled to the base via a first end of the extension arm, a support, and a second monitor coupled to the base via the support. The first end of the extension arm and the support are vertically aligned and configured to rotate about a common rotational axis to enable independent rotation of the first and second monitors.
RADIATION IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING RADIATION IMAGING SYSTEM
A radiation imaging system that is capable of controlling a radiation generating apparatus and a radiation detector based on communication between a first control application and a second control application is provided. The radiation imaging system comprises a holding unit configured to hold a plurality of processing requests transmitted from the second control application, a determination unit configured to determine whether the plurality of processing requests held in the holding unit are processing requests to be continuously executed, and a control right obtaining unit configured to obtain a control right to control an imaging control unit of the first control application that performs the control in order to continuously process the processing requests.
RADIATION IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING RADIATION IMAGING SYSTEM
A radiation imaging system that can control a radiation generating apparatus and a radiation detector based on communication between a first control application and a second control application, the system comprises: a connection monitoring unit configured to monitor a connection state of the communication; a holding unit configured to hold an information notification indicating a control state of an imaging control unit of the first control application that performs the control in a case where the connection monitoring unit determines that the connection state is a disconnection state; and a deletion processing unit configured to perform deletion processing of an information notification held in the holding unit so as to leave an information notification indicating a final state of control by the imaging control unit.
Medical user interfaces and related methods of use

Apparatus and methods for a projection display device on X-ray imaging devices
Apparatuses and methods are provided for projecting a display of information for an x-ray device. The display of information is projected on the patient, on the table 205 area or on a combination thereof. A compact projector 207 is provided to project the display of information on a previously unused region of the patient and table 207, and provides a source of diagnostic and safety information without further crowding the room. The projected display of information may be a system state, a patient state, a surgical tool position or another relevant image. A compact sensor or range scanner 209 may be employed to capture three-dimensional distance information in the x-ray system. The three-dimensional distance information may be used to reduce distortion in the projected image, selectively darken regions of the projected image, automatically configure the x-ray system, capture inputs from the operator and improve safety in the x-ray system.
