A method and apparatus to manufacture a coherent bundle of scintillating fibers is disclosed. A method includes providing a collimated bundle having a glass preform with capillaries therethrough known in the industry as a glass capillary array, and infusing the glass capillary array with a scintillating polymer or a polymer matrix containing scintillating nanoparticles.

Provided is an image-display apparatus on which an object to be observed can be applied, the image-display apparatus comprising: a display screen; a plurality of light-emitting units arranged to emit light out of the screen from behind the screen; a plurality of light sensors arranged behind the screen to detect light including light emitted from at least one light-emitting unit and reflected from an object applied to the display screen, and to output at least first and second detection values; and a determination unit configured to determine, based on the detection values output by the plurality of sensors, a first region of the display screen corresponding to a region to which the object is applied to the display screen.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a radiation image detector and a manufacture method to produce the radiation image detector. The radiation image detector includes: a radiation conversion layer, configured to convert a radiation image into a visible light image; an image sensing layer for visible light, including a pixel array formed by a plurality of photosensitive pixels, configured to detect the visible light image; and a microlens layer, disposed between the radiation conversion layer and the image sensing layer, the microlens layer including a lens array formed by multiple micro convex lenses, and optical axes of the micro convex lenses being perpendicular to the image sensing layer. In addition, both the radiation conversion layer and the microlens layer have curved surface structures that are bended in the same direction that non-parallel radiations, emitted from an X-ray generator, will impinge perpendicularly on the radiation conversion layer.

A slide actuator includes: a fixed member; a movable member movable to the fixed member by a predetermined stroke in a predetermined direction; a plurality of balls interposed between the fixed member and the movable member and configured to movably support the movable member; and paired elastic bodies disposed at both ends of a moving range of each of the balls, each of the elastic bodies being configured to come into contact with the corresponding ball when the balls move with movement of the movable member.

The present invention relates to mobile X-ray imaging. In order to provide a mobile display system for X-ray imaging with improved space requirements, a mobile medical imaging viewing station (14) is provided. The mobile medical imaging viewing station comprises a mobile support stand (30), a display device (32) movably mounted to the support stand, and a docking arrangement (34). The display device is movable to provide adapted positioning of the display device in relation to the mobile support stand. The docking arrangement comprises a docking interface attached to the support stand. The docking arrangement is configured to interact with a counter-interface of a mobile medical X-ray imaging station for docking the mobile medical imaging viewing station to a mobile X-ray imaging station for at least transport purposes. The mobile support stand is provided with wheels (38) that are retractable when the docking to a mobile medical X-ray imaging station is provided.

A system and method are provided for facilitating reading of medical images on a display. The method includes receiving a current medical image corresponding to a subject, and displaying the current medical image; performing image segmentation of the current medical image using a deep learning algorithm to identify a region of interest, and displaying an annotation on the current medical image indicating the region of interest; retrieving a previous medical image and a radiology report corresponding to a previous medical image of the subject; to extract relevant findings; performing NLP on the descriptive text to extract relevant findings, and displaying the relevant findings on the display with the current medical image; and retrieving an interactive checklist from a checklist database, including items for the user to consider when reviewing the current medical image.

A method and apparatus for detecting and recording an event is disclosed which includes a scintillator located to receive energy from the event. The energy may be x-ray energy from a radiographic source. A mirror is optionally angularly located adjacent the scintillator to redirect or reflect the light into two or more lenses. The two or more lenses have zoom capability to adjust the size of the image and the two or more lenses are arranged as telecentric lenses. A camera receives the light presented from the two or more lenses on an image plane to establish a recorded image while a shutter is presented to selectively control presentation of the light to the camera. The zoom lens allows use of different size scintillators and various CCD cameras to benefit from multiple zoom positions to best capture the image generated by the scintillator.
