A radiation monitoring system includes a patient support apparatus. A radiation sensor assembly is operably coupled to the patient support apparatus. The radiation sensor assembly includes a radiation sensor and a first controller. The radiation sensor senses radiation data corresponding to a radiation dose received by a patient. A management system includes a second controller that stores a patient profile database. The second controller is communicatively coupled with the first controller. The first controller communicates the radiation data to the second controller for storage in the patient profile database to monitor the radiation dose received by the patient.

The present invention relates to an X-ray targeting device which includes a frame installed at an X-ray generator of an X-ray imaging device which outputs X-rays toward a patient to be measured, and a light radiation unit installed at the frame, and radiating guide light in accordance with a direction in which the X-rays are output to display a radiated position or radiated range of the X-rays with respect to the patient. According to the present invention, since an X-ray targeting device includes a light radiation unit radiating guide light in accordance with a radiated direction of X-rays, a worker can easily identify the radiated direction or the radiated range of the X-rays, thereby saving time and effort required for X-ray imaging.

The embodiments relate to a control device for transmission of at least one command. The control device includes at least one RFID transponder unit for transmission of an identification code and a read device for reading out the identification code of the RFID transponder unit. The RFID transponder unit is disposed within a medical device and has at least one initiation device for initiating the at least one command. In one embodiment, the control device includes three alarm units for triggering different alarms, such as after initiation of the at least one command, after interruption of a transmission link, and after a charging value of an energy storage unit has fallen below a threshold value.

A mobile radiography system includes sensors to detect a tilt angle and or pitch angle of the system to prevent deployment of the extendable boom and/or column and/or prevent activation of a motor drive if the tilt angle or pitch angle exceeds a pre-set boundary.

A portable XRF analyzer includes a hand shield to substantially block x-rays from impinging on a hand of a user. The portable XRF analyzer includes a heat sink over an x-ray source and a heat sink over an x-ray detector. The heat sinks are separated from each other by a thermally insulative material.

A breast imaging apparatus includes a radiation source that irradiates a breast of a subject with radiation, a radiation detector that detects the radiation transmitted through the breast to output a radiographic image, an ultraviolet light source that performs irradiation of ultraviolet light, and a controller that controls an operation of the ultraviolet light source. The controller prohibits the irradiation of the ultraviolet light by the ultraviolet light source in a case where a predetermined set condition is satisfied. The controller determines that the set condition is satisfied, for example, in a case where a person is shown in a captured image of a camera.

A cap for a c-arm medical imaging device with an image intensifier comprises a plate sized and shaped to cover an exterior facing surface of the image intensifier. The plate is transparent to x-rays and has a planar center with a planar outer surface and a planar inner surface to face the image intensifier. A retainer is carried by the plate to retain the plate on the image intensifier.

Aspects of the present disclosure disclose a system and method for delivering for administering radiation to a patient. The method may include associating the patient with one of a plurality of coded dosage zones wherein each of the plurality of coded dosage zones corresponds to one or more values of a physical characteristic. The method may further include correlating the one of the plurality of coded dosage zones to a dose of radiation and then applying the dose of radiation to the patient.
