20090310741 | Method And Apparatus For Radiographic Imaging - A radiographic X-ray apparatus is equipped with multiple devices for the acquisition of anatomical data, in particular cameras. These devices are used to facilitate and automate the imaging process, providing: before exposure the automated identification of the specific anatomical features of the patient and the optimized presetting of the exposure technique factors and projection geometry, tailored on the actual anatomy of the patient; during exposure the optimized X-ray dose modulation, either automatically or selected by the operator, in order to correctly expose the various regions of interest, and accordingly impart reduced dose to other body parts, according to the actual anatomy of the patient and imaging requirements; after exposure the possibility to complement the radiographic image with additional information about the internal and external anatomy, providing valuable tools for the medical analysis and diagnosis. | 12-17-2009 |
20090323891 | Method And Apparatus For Simplified Patient Positioning In Dental Tomographic X-Ray Imaging - An apparatus and a method is proposed which allow for a simplified patient positioning based on the selection of a region of interest for the tomographic image of the dentition of a patient. The region of interest is selected on a previously acquired panoramic image of the dentition of the patient. | 12-31-2009 |
20100008559 | Dynamic Error Correction in Radiographic Imaging - A method for radiographic imaging is described. Radiographic raw images of an object are generated by an imaging system comprising an X-ray source and an X-ray detector and moving along a given trajectory during an acquisition process of the radiographic images. During the generation of the radiographic raw images displacement data describing the displacement of the moving object are generated by means of a sensor arrangement and a control unit connected with the sensor arrangement. Finally views of the object are produced by image processing of the radiographic raw images in the control unit wherein the displacement data are used for compensating the motion of the object. For the compensation of the motion, the object is treated as stationary and the actual trajectory is replaced by a virtual trajectory resulting in a spatial relation between the stationary object and the imaging system on the virtual trajectory that corresponds to the spatial relation between the displaced object and the imaging system on the actual trajectory. | 01-14-2010 |

20140364230 | Apparatus and Method for Rehabilitation Employing a Game Engine - The invention relates to a method and electronic apparatus for performing computer-aided rehabilitation exercises based on video games. The apparatus comprises a data processing module connected to a memory module to memorise the video games. In addition, the apparatus comprises a display module of the video games connected to the data processing module and at least one electronic input module connected to the data processing module suitable for interacting with a user to generate sequences of digital data representing movements of the user's body during the rehabilitation exercises. The data processing module is configured to compare the sequences of digital input data with reference parameters to provide information to the user during the game representing a biophysical feedback of the rehabilitation exercise performed by the user. | 12-11-2014 |
