| 20090252299 | POSITIONING DEVICE FOR A STORAGE FILM AND STORAGE-FILM READER, STORAGE FILM CASSETTE AND STORAGE-FILM HANDLING DEVICE - In order to prevent a storage film from being damaged when taking an X-ray image, when reading the latent X-ray image and when handling the storage film, the invention proposes providing spaced-apart guide parts on the rear face of the storage film, these guide parts not having an adverse effect on the ability of the film to bend. The said guide parts interact with guide rails which are provide in a cassette which accommodates the storage film or on a film-clamping slide of a reader. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090316861 | X-RAY CASSETTE COVER - An X-ray cover for enveloping an X-ray cassette. The cover comprises a first sheet of non-plastic material and a second sheet of non-plastic material. The cover further comprises a cushion element integrally distributed throughout the first sheet and the second sheet wherein the first sheet and second sheet are sized and shaped to accept the X-ray cassette and wherein the cushion element is sized and shaped to cushion the patient's body part during an X-ray procedure. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20120236998 | COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY SCANNER AND ENVELOPE FOR IMAGING PLATES - A scanner for processing intra-oral flexible information carrier plate exposed to X-rays and an envelope for the plate. The scanner comprises housing with an opening for entering an enveloped plate. The envelope is provided with a protrusion and the opening of the scanner is provided with a shoulder. When the enveloped plate is entered in the opening the protrusion abuts the shoulder such that the plate is allowed to exit from the envelope and pass inside the housing while the envelope is retained outside the housing. | 09-20-2012 |
| 20130259208 | RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING APPARATUS - A radiographic imaging apparatus using a flexible radiation detector electrically detects radiation that was transmitted through an object to be imaged, converts the detected radiation into radiographic image information, and has a housing box that incorporates the radiation detector in an attachable and detachable manner. The housing box includes a supporting member that supports the radiation detector as a mechanical reinforcement for keeping the radiation detector flat even when under a load, and an exterior housing that contains the radiation detector and the supporting member. | 10-03-2013 |

| 20080273666 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DENSITY AND EFFECTIVE ATOMIC NUMBER IMAGING - A system and method of density and effective atomic number imaging include a computer programmed to acquire projection data from the detector of an unknown material at the time of projection data acquisition. The computer is also programmed to generate a density image for the unknown material based on a calibration of two or more known basis materials and to generate an effective atomic number (Z) for the unknown material based on the calibration of two or more known basis materials and based on a function arctan of a ratio of atomic numbers of the two or more known basis materials. The density and effective atomic number images are stored to a computer readable storage medium. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20160081638 | ELECTRONIC CASSETTE AND ELECTRONIC CASSETTE SYSTEM - A housing of an electronic cassette includes an inclined surface. The inclined is formed between a side surface and a rear surface of the housing and inclined relative to the side surface and the rear surface. The inclined surface is provided with indicators for displaying a center position of each side of an imaging area and operation conditions of the electronic cassette. Each of the indicators consists of a light source and a display window through which light from the light source is emitted to the outside. The display window is formed on the inclined surface. Since the display window is formed on the inclined surface, the display window is not blocked by an outer grid. | 03-24-2016 |
