A breast imaging apparatus includes a radiation generation unit configured to generate radiation and a radiation detection unit configured to detect radiation irradiation from the radiation generation unit and can rotate the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit in a state in which they face each other. Imaging is performed in a state in which a body part (breast) of an object to be imaged is sandwiched by a pressing panel on a first side of the breast imaging apparatus. In addition, imaging is performed while rotating the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit in a state in which the body part (breast) of the object to be imaged is inserted between the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit from a second side opposite to the first side of the breast imaging apparatus.

A system for providing a software update includes a server in which software updates are registered, and a terminal for receiving version information of a software update from the server and performing a software update on the basis of the received version information of the software update, wherein the server includes a version information checking unit for collecting version information of software temporarily stored in the terminal or version information of software installed in the terminal and comparing the version information of the temporarily stored software or the version information of the installed software with the version information of the software update to determine whether to transmit the software update to the terminal.

A system includes a head supporting device, an alignment checker and a scanning device. The head supporting device is disposed on a first surface of an examination table for supporting a patient. The head supporting device includes an adjustable headrest platform for supporting a head of the patient. The adjustable headrest platform is configured to be movable along a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the examination table. The alignment checker is disposed on the examination table. The alignment checker is located corresponding to the head of the patient. The alignment checker is configured to verify a location or an orientation of the head of the patient. The scanning device is configured for capturing a scan image corresponding to a mandible of the patient.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for configuring a medical device for a medical procedure. The systems may perform the methods to initialize a gantry angle of a medical device of a new scan. The systems may also perform the methods to obtain a pre-set gantry angle associated with the new scan. The systems may also perform the methods to determine whether the initialized gantry angle is consistent with the pre-set gantry angle. The systems may also perform the methods to adjust the initialized gantry angle of the medical device to the pre-set gantry angle in response to a determination that the initialized gantry angle is inconsistent with the pre-set gantry angle.

A fluid injector system for delivering a multi-phase fluid injection to a patient and methods of fluid delivery is disclosed. Methods of creating and using a multi-aspect fluid path impedance model of the injector system are used. Modeling and adjustment of factors that affect impedance and prevent or reduce backflow, reduce the likelihood of fluid flow rate spikes and provide more accurate flow rates and mixing ratios of fluids may be repeated or happen essentially continuously during an injection. The adjustments may be determined before the injection or determined and/or adjusted during the injection. The determination may include sensor feedback commonly used in injectors such as pressure and position feedback as well as other sensors. In all cases, the user can be notified of adjustments through on-screen notices and/or through the recordation of the injection data by a control device of the injector at the conclusion of the injection.

A method, apparatus, system, and computer program for generating clinical information. Information indicating at least one clinical aspect of an object is received. Clinical information of interest relating to the at least one clinical aspect is generated from a plurality of projection images.

Methods for the correction of drive, tilt and scanning speed errors in imaging systems such as CT machines.

A medical imaging marker device includes, a main marker body, an outer side visual radiolucent placement indicator, an inner side visual radiolucent placement indicator, an anatomical side visual radiolucent indicator, visual radiolucent length measurement indicator, an attachment system; and a slidable marker piece, including a slidable marker body and a radiopaque marker; such that the slidable marker body is detachably positionable on an image receptor, such that an image of an anatomical target structure taken with the image receptor includes an image portion of the radiopaque marker, which indicates a side orientation of the anatomical target structure.

One embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a mobile X-ray unit. The mobile X-ray unit may include an X-ray applicator for emitting an X-ray beam for irradiating an object. The mobile X-ray unit may further include a phantom-based dosimetry system configured to perform a dosimetry check of the X-ray beam. The phantom-based dosimetry system may include two sets of dose meters, each set being positioned on a surface at a distinct depth. The mobile X-ray unit may also include a dosimetry control unit configured to receive measurements from the two sets of dose meters and determine whether the dosimetry check is passed based on the measurements.

A bimodal three-dimensional mammary gland imaging quality detecting phantom and method, which includes: a three-dimensional breast appearance phantom structure made of agarose gel containing polyethylene, which is a radiation equivalent material of adipose tissues under X-rays, the relaxation time of hydrogen protons in the agarose gel under a 3T magnetic field is equivalent to that of human adipose tissues, and mammary gland tissue duct phantoms and phantoms of lobules of mammary gland are distributed in the breast appearance phantom structure. The phantom can be used for the image quality detection and analysis of mammary gland imaging by the systems of magnetic resonance and mammography, the material is elastic and can be compressed on a mammography platform for imaging, and the phantom can also be vertically placed in the magnetic resonance mammary gland coil for tomography, so two imaging modes of one phantom are achieved, and the application range is expanded.
