A rotating capacitive data link system includes a first body rotatable relative to a second body. The first body has one or multiple circular signal transmission lines with multiple transmission line segments. The second body has multiple circular arranged sets of receiving couplers with multiple receiving couplers. Each of the sets of receiving couplers matches to one of the circular signal transmission lines, such that depending on the relative rotational position or angle between the first body and the second body multiple capacitively coupled paths between the transmission line segments and the receiving couplers of a matching set of receiving couplers exist. A receive signal processor is provided to generate a detailed error or status matrix of transmission errors.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for positioning an X-ray scanner. The systems may perform the methods to obtain one or more images relating to the target in the object; determine one or more image target locations corresponding to the target based on the one or more images; determine a target position of the target based on the one or more image target locations corresponding to the target; and determine positioning information of an indicator or an X-ray source of the X-ray scanner based on the target position.

A system and method for processing of dual-energy image data measurements are disclosed. The image data acquired on a computed tomograph is collected together to form a container before being sent to client devices for post-processing. The container contains a control object for the respective image dataset, which includes evaluation specifications and post-processing specifications for post-processing of the image data on the client device.

An integrated interface of a detector module of a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) may include a power module, a clock module, a synchronization module, and a communication module. In one embodiment, Gigabit Ethernet, 10G Ethernet, Fast Ethernet (100M), 10M Ethernet or custom speed Ethernet based solution can be used in the communication module. In the power module, the power is can be transmitted by standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) method, while the clock can be recovered from Ethernet in the clock module. In the synchronization module, in one embodiment, the synchronization can be done through a dedicated package and/or IEEE1588. The integrated interface can be implemented in other systems. For example, it can be used in a gamma camera system or gamma probe, especially a dynamic gamma camera or handheld gamma camera.

A mobile radiography apparatus has a moveable (e.g., wheeled) transport frame and an adjustable support mounted at the frame that can include an x-ray source. Embodiments of methods and/or apparatus by which mobile radiography carts can provide a charging capability for at least one radiographic detector (e.g., removed power source, detector either separately mounted at the mobile radiography apparatus or in a detector carrier (e.g., grid holder)) mounted at the mobile radiography apparatus.

A radiographic image capturing apparatus includes: scanning and signal lines; a two-dimensional array of detecting elements defining a detecting part; a control unit that reads image data from all detecting elements in a reading area of the detecting part by repeating a cycle of a readout process at N-line intervals, wherein the scanning line subjected to the readout process is shifted every cycle, where N is an integral number of at least 1; and a communication unit for external communication. The control unit detects a radiation emission start of a radiation irradiating apparatus, and if the readout process starts with an N+1th or any subsequent scanning line and then starts with any of first to N+1th scanning lines in a certain cycle, the control unit transfers the image data read in the certain cycle as preview image data substantially concurrently with the readout process.

A control system includes a radiation emission apparatus and a radiographic imaging apparatus that generates image data by receiving radiation. A first apparatus of the radiation emission apparatus and the radiographic imaging apparatus includes a first timer that performs time measurement to periodically generate first time measurement information. A second apparatus of the radiation emission apparatus and the radiographic imaging apparatus includes a second timer that performs time measurement to periodically generate second time measurement information. The first apparatus includes an interface that transmits the first time measurement information to the second timer. At least one apparatus includes a hardware processor which adjusts the operation of the first or second timer based on adjustment conditions in a state where the second timer does not acquire the first time measurement information.

A radiation detection apparatus includes a housing having an incident face and a side face, a reflective member accommodated within the housing, the reflective member having a reflective face which reflects radio waves, and an antenna element accommodated within the housing. The side face of the housing includes a conductor region and a transmissive region, the transmissive region having a higher radio wave transmittance than the conductor region. The reflective member is disposed in a position at which a first radio wave, which proceeds directly from the antenna element toward the transmissive region, and a second radio wave, which reaches the reflective face from the antenna element and is reflected toward the transmissive region by the reflective face, strengthen each other.

One or more embodiments of the present invention relates to an energy supply circuit for a CT system. The energy supply circuit comprises a stationary energy distribution device, a co-rotating bias voltage supply device, a standard energy supply path having an energy transmission device between the stationary energy distribution device and the co-rotating bias voltage supply device and an alternatively connectable service energy supply path having a voltage protection device. A computed tomography system is also described. Further, a production method for producing an energy supply circuit for a CT system is described. In addition, a method for operating a CT system is described.

A radiographic imaging device that obtains a radiographic image, includes a battery, a first hardware processor, and a storage. The battery drives the radiographic imaging device. The first hardware processor measures an amount of power remaining in the battery. The storage stores a first threshold and a second threshold of the amount of power remaining in the battery. The first threshold is used to allow photographing of a first photography mode. The second threshold is used to allow photographing of a second photography mode that consumes less power than the first photography mode.
