20080240343 | Portable digital tomosynthesis imaging system and method - A portable tomosynthesis imaging system is disclosed that includes a portable X-ray source assembly and a portable detector assembly. The source assembly may be coupled to a portable power supply and controller such that multiple projection X-ray images may be obtained at a site that is not accessible by conventional tomosynthesis imaging systems. Image data may be transmitted from the detector by wired or wireless communication. Tomosynthesis image reconstruction may be performed locally at the portable system or remotely by the transmission of raw or filtered image data from the portable system. The portable system is particularly well-suited to field deployment, such as at accident scenes, scenes of natural or other disasters, or in confined clinical settings. | 10-02-2008 |
20080240357 | Image acquisition and processing chain for dual-energy radiography using a portable flat panel detector - A mobile dual-energy X-ray imaging system is presented. The mobile dual-energy X-ray imaging system is a digital X-ray system that is designed both to acquire original image data and to process the image data to produce an image for viewing. The system has an X-ray source and a portable flat-panel digital X-ray detector. The system is operable to produce a high energy image and low energy image, which may be decomposed to produce a soft tissue image and a bone image for further analysis of the desired anatomy. The system is disposed on a carrier to facilitate transport. The imaging system has an alignment system for facilitating alignment of the flat-panel digital detector with the X-ray source. The imaging system also comprises an anti-scatter grid and an anti-scatter grid registration system for removing artifacts of the anti-scatter grid from images. | 10-02-2008 |
20090003679 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A DIGITAL X-RAY RADIOGRAPHIC TOMOSYNTHESIS USER INTERFACE - A system and method for an improved digital X-ray radiographic tomosynthesis user interface and workflow. | 01-01-2009 |
20090136111 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DIAGNOSING A MEDICAL CONDITION - A system and method of diagnosing a medical condition in a patient from accessing image data and non-image data of a patient, analyzing the combination of image data and non-image data to generate an output with image findings and a risk assessment for diagnosing certain medical conditions in the patient. The image data may be acquired from an image acquisition system. The non-image data may include clinical data of the patient and may be acquired from a user interface, an electronic medical record, and/or findings from an expert system from previous imaging sessions. | 05-28-2009 |
20090169073 | COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING IMAGES - A computer implemented method and system modifying image processing parameters based on user feedback are disclosed herein. The method comprises: obtaining user preferences on a set of displayed images, based on user feedback on a plurality of queries related to at least one domain-specific descriptor and a plurality of corresponding response options indicating a change in at least one image attribute. The set of displayed images are processed by a known set of image processing parameters. The plurality of corresponding response options are being selectable by a user as user preference in response to the plurality of queries. The method further includes translating the changes in the image attributes to a modified set of image processing parameters. | 07-02-2009 |
20090198513 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECONCILING PATIENT AND PROCEDURE INFORMATION IN A MEDICAL FACILITY COMPUTER NETWORK AND IMAGING SYSTEM - Disclosed is a method for reconciling mismatches in data in a hospital computer system by selectively preventing editing of data entered at a first location at a second location, and providing for remapping of data acquired in an incorrect data structure to a corrected data structure. | 08-06-2009 |
