| 20110317816 | Conversion of Existing Portable or Mobile Analog Radiographic Apparatus for Enabling Digital Radiographic Applications - A kit for converting an existing mobile or portable film X-ray examination apparatus typically configured solely for analog radiography to enable said examination apparatus for digital radiographic applications. The kit includes a tablet PC that is attached to the wheeled chassis of the mobile or portable apparatus, and an input/output device used to divert the exposure control signal from the user actuable exposure control switch of the apparatus to the tablet PC. The tablet PC includes image processing software that controls the operation of a digital flat panel detector. The tablet PC can further be used to separately control other mobile or portable apparatus or a facility or examination room that was previously configured only for analog radiography. | 12-29-2011 |
| 20100002927 | IMAGING AUTO SHUTTER ROI - A method to identify a Region Of Interest (ROI) within an image includes the steps of: reading a digital image; finding predetermined brightness values; analyzing lines near a plurality of outer edges of the digital image; identifying an entire area of the digital image as the ROI if the found brightness values are also found in lines near the plurality of outer edges of the digital image; computing Radon transforms to generate one dimensional (1D) projections of the digital image if the found brightness values are not found in the lines; detecting a set of edges within the 1D projections; selecting edges from the set of edges; validating the selected edges to identify a set of validated edges; computing the ROI from the set of validated edges of the 1D projections; and saving the computed ROI to memory. A system to perform the method is also described. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20090257560 | 3D POLY-PHASE TRANSFORMER - A three dimensional (3D) poly-phase transformer includes a plurality of transformer ribs mechanically and magnetically coupled such that each transformer rib forms a leg of a polygon. A plurality of the polygons forms a 3D polyhedron structure. At least two base planes of the 3D poly-phase transformer including a polygon have a plurality of base ribs. At least four side ribs of the 3D poly-phase transformer are disposed between the base planes. The 3D poly-phase transformer includes a plurality of primary and secondary transformer windings. Another 3D poly-phase transformer includes at least two base planes having a closed curve. Each closed curve includes a plurality of curved base ribs, and at least four side ribs of the 3D poly-phase transformer disposed between the base planes. Methods of manufacturing three dimensional (3D) poly-phase transformers are also described. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090245466 | Multi-Pass Edge Detection of Collimator Blades in Digital Radiography Images - A process for detecting the edges of collimator blades in digital radiography images in the first pass detects the edges of the collimator blades using original image, and the in the second pass repeats edge detection using an image enhanced by a histogram matching technique, for example. The edge detection using an enhanced image may also be repeated any number of times in cases of complex anatomy or when selected radiographic techniques does do not provide sufficient imaging data. The results of the second pass, or the collection of the results of multiple second passes, are then combined with the result from the first pass to form a list of the potential blade edge candidates. A desirable number of edges are then selected from the combined list to form a polygon which encloses the target area of the image, thereby providing the shutter area. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20080219599 | Universal Interface For Medical Imaging Receptors - The present invention provides interchangeable modules each of which is adapted to interface with at least one image receptor having predetermined physical interface parameters, including means for receiving image data from the at least one image receptor, processing means for converting the received image data into a converted, common format, and bus means for adapting to and communicating with a mother board. The interchangeable modules can be embodied in a plurality of daughter boards that are adapted for electrical connection to a mother board. Each daughter board can include the physical interface corresponding with the image receptor for which it has been programmed to receive data, with the physical interface being adapted for extending outwardly from a cabinet enclosing the daughter board and mother board. | 09-11-2008 |
