RADIOGRAPHY SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME
A radiography system includes: a radiation source that emits radiation; an imaging stand having a detection panel that generates a radiation image by detecting the radiation; a lifting device on which a subject to be examined is placed; a misalignment amount detection device that detects a relative misalignment amount between the imaging stand and the subject to be examined; and a lifting control device that lifts and lowers the lifting device on the basis of the misalignment amount detected by the misalignment amount detection device.
X-RAY DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to an X-ray device, and an X-ray device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: a radiator configured to radiate an X-ray; a distance measurement sensor configured to measure a value of a distance to an object; and a controller configured to acquire a first separation distance between an X-ray radiation focal point of the radiator and a subject, and control operation of the radiator based on the acquired first separation distance. Through these, the radiation of the X-ray can be prevented without a physical skin guard when the subject approaches within a certain distance from the radiator, thereby preventing the increase in the size caused by the installation of the physical skin guard, and a process of manually setting a strength of the X-ray radiation output according to the thickness of the subject can be omitted, thereby improving easiness of the X-ray imaging and reducing the time for the X-ray imaging.
IMAGING SUPPORT DEVICE, OPERATION METHOD FOR THE SAME, AND OPERATION PROGRAM
An imaging support device used in a radiography apparatus including a radiation source and a radiation image detector that detects a radiation image of a subject on the basis of radiation emitted from the radiation source and transmitted through the subject includes an optical camera that outputs an optical image by optically imaging a region including an irradiation field of the radiation applied to the subject from the radiation source, and at least one processor, in which the processor associates the optical image acquired by the optical camera with the radiation image on the basis of a timing signal transmitted from the radiation image detector side.
Apparatus for digital imaging in the head region of a patient
An apparatus for Digital Imaging in the Head Region of a Patient includes an X-ray source and an X-ray sensor, supported on a rotary arm supported on a structure by a motor driven translation and rotation means. The rotary arm is provided with adjustment means for varying the distance between the source and the sensor. A control unit, that controls the source, the sensor, the adjustment means, and the translation and rotation means Collision detection means provided in the source and sensor detect a possible collision of the source and/or sensor with the patient during the motion of the source and/or sensor and the control unit responds to such detected possible collision.
System and method for subject shape estimation
A medical imaging system is provided. Imaging detector columns are installed in a gantry to receive imaging information about a subject. Imaging detector columns can extend and retract radially as well as be rotated orbitally around the gantry. The system can automatically adjust setup configuration and an imaging operation based on subject shape estimation information.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SURGICAL NAVIGATION
Imaging systems and methods may facilitate positioning an imaging device in a procedure room. A 3D image of a subject may be obtained, where the subject is to have a procedure performed thereon. A view of the 3D image of the subject may be adjusted to a desired view and an associated 2D image reconstruction at the desired view may be obtained. A position for the imaging device that is associated with the desired view of the 3D image of the subject may be identified. Adjusting a view of the 3D image to a desired view and obtaining a 2D image reconstruction may be performed pre-procedure, such that a user may be able to create a list of desired views pre. A user may adjust a physical position of the imaging device to obtain reconstructed 2D preview images at the adjusted physical position of the imaging device prior to capturing an image.
Radiation tracking for portable fluoroscopy x-ray imaging system
A method for fluoroscopy energizes a radiation source to form a scout image on a detector and processes the scout image to determine and report a radiation field position with respect to a predetermined zone of the detector. The radiation source is energized for fluoroscopic imaging of a subject when the reported radiation field position is fully within the predetermined zone.
Low dose digital tomosynthesis system and method using artificial intelligence
A mobile radiography apparatus is configured to sparsely sample radiographic projection images to generate high resolution tomosynthesis volume images using a digital radiographic detector that is mechanically uncoupled from the x-ray source and an artificial intelligence network. The artificial intelligence network is trained to correct a volume image generated from sparsely sample projection images to generate the high resolution tomosynthesis volume images.
Analysis device and analysis method
A valence of a target element of a sample and crystallinity of a sample can be detected with a small device. The analysis device 100 includes: a placement holder 110 for placing a sample S; an X-ray source 11 for irradiating the sample S with X-rays; a first detector 141 for detecting characteristic X-rays generated from the sample S by the irradiation of the X-rays; a second detector 142 for detecting X-rays diffracted by the sample; and a signal processing device 20. The signal processing device 20 detects the valence of the target element of the sample based on the characteristic X-rays detected by the first detector 141, and detects the crystallographic data of the sample based on the X-rays detected by the second detector 142.
