The mammography apparatus includes an imaging stand that includes a recess that cuts out at least a part of a contact face that comes in contact with a chest wall of a subject, in which the recess has a shape in which between a first ridge portion where the contact face and an upper face are connected to each other, and a second ridge portion where the contact face and a lower face are connected to each other, at least a part of the second ridge portion is cut out, and the first ridge portion is not cut out.

Systems and methods for digital X-ray imaging are disclosed. An example portable X-ray scanner includes: an X-ray detector configured to generate digital images based on incident X-ray radiation; an X-ray tube configured to output X-ray radiation; a computing device configured to control the X-ray tube, receive the digital images from the X-ray detector, and output the digital images to a display device; a power supply configured to provide power to the X-ray tube, the X-ray detector, and the computing device; and a frame configured to: hold the X-ray detector, the computing device, and the power supply; and hold the X-ray tube such that the X-ray tube directs the X-ray radiation to the X-ray detector.

A method is provided for image-processing an image dataset acquired from a patient by a medical imaging apparatus, (e.g., an X-ray apparatus), wherein the image dataset includes image values associated with image points, and depicts an acquisition region of the patient containing at least one object, (e.g., a medical device), to be enhanced, which is represented by image values within an image-value interval. The method includes determining a non-linearly high-pass filtered enhancement dataset, which is confined to an image portion containing image values lying in the image-value interval. The method also includes determining a result dataset by adding to the image dataset the enhancement dataset weighted by a weighting value. The method further includes outputting the result dataset.

The radiography apparatus is driven by power supplied from the battery. In the radiography apparatus, a radiation source that emits radiation to a subject, a radiation detector that receives the radiation transmitted through the subject and outputs a radiographic image, and an image processing device that performs image processing on the radiographic image are integrated. A CPU of the image processing device acquires a remaining level of the battery. The CPU performs control to operate both a first processing block that performs a noise suppression process and a visibility improvement process as first image processing and a second processing block that performs a density correction process as second image processing in a case in which the remaining level of the battery is equal to or greater than a threshold value. In contrast, in a case in which the remaining level of the battery is less than the threshold value, the CPU performs control to stop an operation of the first processing block and to operate only the second processing block.

Disclosed herein is a medical system (100, 300, 400) comprising a memory (110) storing machine executable instructions (120). The medical system further comprises an anatomical detection module (122). The anatomical detection module is configured for detecting an anatomical deviation in response to inputting tomographic medical scout image data (124). The anatomical detection module is configured for outputting a localization (126) of the anatomical deviation in the tomographic medical scout image data if the anatomical deviation is detected. The medical system further comprises a processor (104) configured for controlling the medical system. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to: receive (200) the tomographic medical scout image data, receive (202) the localization of the anatomical deviation from the anatomical detection module in response to inputting the tomographic medical scout image data into the anatomical detection module, and provide (204) a warning signal (128) if the localization is received.

The present disclosure relates to an imaging system and method for radiographic inspection. The imaging system for radiographic inspection includes an inspection area including an imaging area; a first ray source assembly, all the first targets of which are arranged in a first ray source plane; a first detector assembly, the plurality of first detector units of which are arranged in a detector plane, the detector plane and the first ray source plane are spaced apart from each other in a travelling direction of the object under inspection with a predetermined distance; and a ray source control device, configured such that when the region of interest of the object under inspection is at least partially located in the imaging area, the first ray source assembly emits X-rays simultaneously from at least two first targets to the imaging area at the same time.

The present disclosure relates to a method for generating an image. The method may include obtaining a preliminary image of an object. The method may include determining a plurality of point radiation sources of at least one array radiation source at least partially based on an ROI of the object. The method may include determining at least one scanning parameter associated with the plurality of point radiation sources based on the preliminary image. The method may include causing the plurality of point radiation sources to emit radiation beams to the ROI to generate scan data relating to the ROI based on the at least one scanning parameter. The method may include obtaining scan data relating to the ROI. The method may further include generating a target image of the ROI based on the scan data relating to the ROI.

An average offset image is acquired without irradiation of a radiation. A first image is acquired when a first time elapses from continuous irradiation with the radiation for imaging a subject on a pixel region. A second image is acquired when a second time longer than the first time elapses from an end of the continuous irradiation. The irradiation with the radiation for imaging the subject is performed on the pixel region after an elapse of the second time from the end of the continuous irradiation and a pixel signal from the pixel region is read out to acquire a radiographic image. An offset image representing an offset component and an afterimage representing an afterimage component according to a time of the continuous irradiation, the first time, the second time, and a defined time are generated based on the first image, the second image, and the average offset image.

Systems and methods for breast x-ray tomosynthesis that enhance spatial resolution in the direction in which the breast is flattened for examination. In addition to x-ray data acquisition of 2D projection tomosynthesis images ETp1 over a shorter source trajectory similar to known breast tomosynthesis, supplemental 2D images ETp2 are taken over a longer source trajectory and the two sets of projection images are processed into breast slice images ETr that exhibit enhanced spatial resolution, including in the thickness direction of the breast. Additional features include breast CT of an upright patient's flattened breast, multi-mode tomosynthesis, and shielding the patient from moving equipment.
