The present disclosure relates to the technical field of CT detection, in particular to a CT inspection system and a CT imaging method. The CT inspection system provided by the present disclosure includes a scanning device and an imaging device, wherein the scanning device having a radioactive source device and a detection device is configured to rotate at a nonuniform speed in at least partial process of scanning an object to be detected; and the imaging device generates a CT image based on effective detection data, wherein the effective detection data refer to data acquired each time the detection device rotates by a preset angle. In the present disclosure, the imaging device of the CT inspection system generates a CT image based on data acquired each time the detection device rotates by a preset angle, which, compared with traditional image collection solutions, can effectively reduce image deformation and improve accuracy of detection results.

A multi-mode system and method for imaging a patient's breast with x-rays in one or more of a CT mode, a narrow-angle tomosynthesis mode, a wide angle tomosynthesis mode, and a mammography mode, using essentially the same equipment, on one or more compressions or immobilizations of the breast.

A radiological imaging device includes a gantry defining an analysis area configured to contain at least a portion of a patient to be analyzed and a circular extension trajectory extending around a central axis. The gantry includes a source configured to emit radiation, a detector configured to receive the radiation after the radiation has passed through the analysis area, and a casing defining a housing volume for at least the source and the detector. The casing includes a bottom arched module, an arched module mobile with respect to the bottom arched module, and a movement apparatus. The mobile arched module is housed in the bottom arched module and configured to vary the angular extension of the casing and of the housing volume keeping the source and the detector in the housing volume. The movement apparatus, outside the housing volume, is configured to move the arched modules. The radiological imaging device performs at least two of tomography, fluoroscopy, and X-ray.

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.

An all-in-one mammography and breast ultrasonography apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes: a scanning table on which breasts are placed, the scanning table having a first axis aligned with a scanning direction of breasts and a second axis orthogonal to the first axis; an X-ray imaging device including an X-ray source arranged above the scanning table to generate X-rays for mammography and an X-ray flat panel detector arranged on the scanning table to detect the X-rays generated from the X-ray source; first and second ultrasound probes arranged on the scanning table so as to be adjacent to both ends of the X-ray flat panel detector to perform breast ultrasonography, the first and second ultrasound probes elongated along the second axis; and an orbital motion device installed on the scanning table to reciprocate the X-ray flat panel detector and the first and second ultrasound probes together along the first axis.

Various methods and systems are provided for a mobile x-ray imaging system. In one embodiment, a system includes a gantry with an x-ray source and an x-ray detector mounted thereon opposite each other, a carrier coupled to the gantry and configured to rotate the gantry relative to the carrier, and a robotic arm coupling the carrier to a base, the robotic arm comprising at least three links and four joints.

A computed tomography (CT) apparatus includes a gantry including a rotation device which has a ring shape and is rotatable about an axis of rotation, a plurality of light sources configured to emit X-rays to a subject, at least one detector provided on the rotation device and configured to detect X-rays passing through the subject, and one or more processors. The at least one processors are configured to rotate the rotation device in a first rotation direction by an angle of rotation determined based on a total number of the plurality of light sources, emit X-rays to the subject and detect X-rays passing through the subject during the rotation of the rotation device in the first rotation direction, and rotate the rotation device by the determined rotation angle in a second rotation direction.

The invention relates to a combined detector (660) comprising a gamma radiation detector (100) and an X-ray radiation detector (661). The gamma radiation detector (100) comprises a gamma scintillator array (101.sub.x, y), an optical modulator (102) and a first photodetector array (103.sub.a, b) for detecting the first scintillation light generated by the gamma scintillator array (101.sub.x, y). The optical modulator (102) is disposed between the gamma scintillator array (101.sub.x, y) and the first photodetector array (103.sub.a, b) for modulating a transmission of the first scintillation light between the gamma scintillator array (101.sub.x, y) and the first photodetector array (103.sub.a, b). The optical modulator (102) comprises at least one optical modulator pixel having a cross sectional area (102′) in a plane that is perpendicular to the gamma radiation receiving direction (104). The cross sectional area of each optical modulator pixel (102′) is greater than or equal to the cross sectional area of each photodetector pixel (103′.sub.a, b).
