A radiological imaging device that includes a source that emits radiation that passes through at least part of a patient, the radiation defining a central axis of propagation; and a receiving device that receives the radiation and is arranged on the opposite side of the patient with respect to the source. The receiving device includes a first detector to detect radiation when performing at least one of tomography and fluoroscopy, a second detector to detect radiation when performing at least one of radiography and tomography; and a movement apparatus arranged to displace the first and second detectors with respect to the source. The movement apparatus provides a first active configuration in which the radiation hits the first detector and a second active configuration in which the radiation hits the second detector.

The invention relates, in particular, to structures of an apparatus applicable for use in the context of dental or medical X-ray imaging. The apparatus comprises a support construction 12 to which an X-ray source 14, an X-ray detector and a visible light emitting construction 141′ are mounted and wherein the support construction 12 is configured to enable positioning the X-ray source 14 and the visible light emitting construction 141′ at essentially the same location in relation to the support construction 12, so as to when at a given time locating at said essentially same location, to direct a given field pattern in essentially the same direction towards the X-ray detector 15. The apparatus comprises a first frame part 11 extending in a first direction and comprising a first end and a second end, and the support construction 12 to which the X-ray source 14, the X-ray detector and the visible light emitting construction 141′ are mounted extends from the first frame part 11 in a second direction essentially at right angles to the first direction.

In one example, an assembly for a C-arm comprises: a casing including a first extension housing a first component, a second extension housing a second component, and a clearance formed between the first extension and the second extension; and a collimator seated within the clearance, with an outlet end of the collimator substantially aligned with a terminating end of the first extension and a terminating end of the second extension. An x-ray tube insert may be aligned with the collimator and configured to emit x-ray radiation between the first component and the second component.

A medical image diagnostic system of an embodiment includes a medical image diagnostic apparatus and processing circuitry. The medical image diagnostic apparatus moves on a floor and performs scanogram imaging or main scan imaging. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire a scan protocol to be executed in the medical image diagnostic apparatus, specify a movement range of the medical image diagnostic apparatus on the basis of the scan protocol, acquire information on an area including at least the movement range, and detect or predict presence or absence of an interfering object in the movement range on the basis of the information.

A method and a system for a two-step calibration method for the polychromatic semiconductor-based PCD forward counting model, to account for various pixel summing readout modes for imaging at different resolutions. The flux independent weighted bin response function is estimated using the expectation maximization method, and then used to estimate the pileup correction terms at plural tube voltage settings for each detector pixel. To correct the variation of the detector response due to different PCD sub-pixel summing schemes, the embodiments calibrate forward model parameters based on the various pixel readout modes.

A multi-axis imaging system comprising an imaging gantry with an imaging axis extending through a bore of the imaging gantry, a support column that supports the imaging gantry on one side of the gantry in a cantilevered manner, and a base that supports the imaging gantry and the support column. The imaging system including a first drive mechanism that translates the gantry in a vertical direction relative to the support column and the base, a second drive mechanism that rotates the gantry with respect to the support column between a first orientation where the imaging axis of the imaging gantry extends in a vertical direction parallel to the support column and a second orientation where the imaging axis of the gantry extends in a horizontal direction parallel with the base, and a third drive mechanism that translates the support column and the gantry in a horizontal direction along the base.

There is provided a radiographic imaging apparatus capable of facilitating a comparative radiological interpretation of symmetric portions or a temporal comparative radiological interpretation of a same imaging target. The radiographic imaging apparatus includes an image control unit configured to cause a display unit configured to display a plurality of divided screens to display a first radiographic image of a first imaging target on a first divided screen of the plurality of divided screens. The image control unit causes a radiographic image of the first imaging target that is captured at a different time from the first radiographic image or a radiographic image of a second imaging target that is a symmetric imaging target of the first imaging target to be displayed on a second divided screen of the plurality of divided screens as a second radiographic image.
