Radiographic image capturing apparatus
The radiographic imaging device that configures the disclosed radiographic imaging system has at least a camera that images a main cassette body. Said camera is integrally configured to a radiation source and a control device that controls the main cassette body or is integrally configured to a main radiation source body that houses the radiation source.
Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and medical image diagnosis apparatus
An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a reception unit and a storing unit. The reception unit receives a capturing instruction to capture a stereoscopic image being displayed stereoscopically. If the reception unit receives the capturing instruction, the storing unit stores a plurality of parallax images used for displaying the stereoscopic image being displayed stereoscopically in a manner associated with one another as captured images in a predetermined storage device.
SELF-SHIELDED, BENCHTOP CHEMISTRY SYSTEM
A self-shielded, bench-top radiochemistry system, including a radioactive isotope dispensing module configured to draw an isotope out of a vial and dispense one or more metered doses of the isotope to a concentration module that concentrates the metered dose into a droplet amount of isotope and a synthesizer module that delivers the droplet amount of isotope along with one or more reagents to an electrowetting on dielectrics (EWOD) chip to produce a radiolabeled molecule.
Radiological image capturing apparatus and radiological image capturing system
There is described a radiological image capturing apparatus, which makes it possible to obtain a good X ray image in which contrast of the peripheral portions are emphasized by employing the Talbot interferometer method and the Talbot-Lau interferometer method. The apparatus is provided with an X-ray tube, a multi-slit member, a first diffraction grating, a second diffraction grating and an X-ray detector. The second diffraction grating contacts the X-ray detector. A distance L between the multi-slit element and the first diffraction grating is set to be not less than 0.5 m, a distance Z.sub.1 between the first diffraction grating and the second diffraction grating is set to be not less than 0.05 m, and a slit interval distance d.sub.0 of the multi-slit element is set to be not less than 2 m. With the settings, the abovementioned good X-ray image can be obtained by using the Talbot-Lau interferometer system.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING PATIENT IMAGES TO ANALYZE PERFUSION AND BLOOD FLOW
A computer-implemented method of processing patient image data comprises: receiving a patient-specific vascular model of an individual, wherein the patient-specific vascular model is based at least in part on medical images acquired of the individual; receiving a patient-specific tissue model of a tissue of the individual; observing an actual perfusion value of the tissue; determining at least one vessel pathology that causes the actual perfusion value; and selecting a candidate updated vascular model of the plurality of candidate updated vascular models that results in a minimum difference between the hypothetical perfusion value and the actual perfusion value; updating the patient-specific vascular model to include the at least one vessel pathology of the selected candidate updated vascular model; and outputting an estimate of a location of the at least one vessel pathology or an estimate of a severity of the at least one vessel pathology.
SOLUTION FOR A CT DENTAL X-RAY IMAGING OF AN OBJECT
The invention relates to a dental X-ray imaging system for a computed tomography (CT) dental X-ray imaging of an object. The system comprises: a dental X-ray imaging unit comprising: an X-ray source part, an X-ray imaging detector part, and a gantry part; and a control system. The control system is configured to: receive scan request comprising an indication of at least one region of interest (ROI); control the parts of the dental X-ray imaging unit to acquire two X-ray scout images of the object; detect at least one target structure of the object from the two X-ray scout images associated with the at least one ROI by applying at least one trained detection model for the X-ray scout images; define field of view (FOV) data of the dental X-ray imaging unit at least partially based on the detected at least one target structure; and control the parts of the dental X-ray imaging unit to implement the defined FOV data for a CT scan the object (300) in order to acquire dental CT X-ray image data of the object. The invention relates also to a method for a computed tomography (CT) dental X-ray imaging, a computer program and a tangible non-volatile computer-readable medium.
Method and apparatus for obtaining x-ray image of region of interest of object
A method of obtaining an X-ray image, the method including: obtaining a first image of an object; receiving a determination whether the first image includes an entirety of a region of interest (ROI); and obtaining a second image of the object, the second image including a portion of the ROI which is absent in the first image.
SYSTEM FOR GUIDE CATHETER CONTROL WITH INTRODUCER CONNECTOR
An introducer assembly for introducing a catheter into a patient, includes a sheath having a distal end and a proximal end with a hollow lumen extending between the distal end and proximal end. The assembly also includes a coupler having a distal end operatively coupled to the proximal end of the sheath, the coupler having an internal passage in fluid communication with the hollow lumen. The assembly further includes a connector having a distal end operatively coupled to the coupler proximate the distal end of the coupler.
Scanning method and apparatus, storage medium, and computer device
The present disclosure discloses a scanning method and apparatus, a storage medium, and a computer device. The method includes: obtaining plain film information of a target scanning object, and determining a target bed height based on the plain film information; adjusting the plain film information based on the target bed height to obtain target plain film information; and performing a subsequent operation based on the target plain film information. The present disclosure helps to quickly determine the target bed height, adjust the plain film information based on the target bed height, and perform the subsequent operation based on adjusted plain film information. Thus, a quality of a scanned image is improved while an adjustment efficiency is increased, thereby greatly improving user experience.
Method and system for creating a reference scout image for x-ray source current modulation
A system(s), a computer-implemented method(s) and/or computer executable instructions encoded on a computer readable medium(s) obtains, for a scan series for a subject that includes arms of the subject at different positions relative to the subject, a scout image for the subject, removing the arms of the subject from the scout image, designating the scout image with the arms of the subject removed as a reference image for X-ray source current modulation for the scan series, and utilizes the designated scout image for X-ray source current modulation for the scan series.
