摘要:
A multi-layer dental panoramic and transversal x-ray imaging system includes an x-ray source; a digital imaging device capable of frame mode output with a sufficient frame rate; a mechanical manipulator having at least one rotational axis located in a position other than the focal point of the x-ray source; a position detection mechanism for detecting the camera position in 1D, 2D or 3D depending of the complexity of the trajectory; a final image reconstruction mechanism for reconstructing the final images out of the stored frames; a real time storage system such as RAM, hard drive or an drive array able to store all the frames captured during an exposure; and a digital processing unit capable of executing the reconstruction algorithm, such components being interconnected in operational arrangement. The system produces selectively dental panoramic x-ray images, dental transversal x-ray images and dental tomosynthetic 3D images from a frame stream produced by a high-speed, x-ray digital imaging device.
摘要:
A calibrated real-time, high energy X-ray imaging system is disclosed which incorporates a direct radiation conversion, X-ray imaging camera and a high speed image processing module. The high energy imaging camera utilizes a Cd-Te or a Cd-Zn-Te direct conversion detector substrate. The image processor includes a software driven calibration module that uses an algorithm to analyze time dependent raw digital pixel data to provide a time related series of correction factors for each pixel in an image frame. Additionally, the image processor includes a high speed image frame processing module capable of generating image frames at frame readout rates of greater than ten frames per second to over 100 frames per second. The image processor can provide normalized image frames in real-time or can accumulate static frame data for substantially very long periods of time without the typical concomitant degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio.

摘要:
Extra-oral dental x-ray imaging methods and systems are disclosed. An x-ray source exposes x-rays to an object to be imaged and an x-ray imaging device produces multiple frames during at least part of the exposure. The x-ray imaging device has an active area with a long dimension m and a short dimension n with m/n at least 1.5. A manipulator moves along a path the imaging device between consecutive radiated frames during exposure. The manipulator enables movement of the x-ray source and the imaging device by means of selective translation and rotation about at least one rotational axis located between a focal point of the x-ray source and the x-ray imaging device. An exposure profile program produces a substantially linear projection of at least part of said object to be imaged, said exposure profile program comprising at least one substantially linear section.

摘要:
A radiation imaging device comprises a plurality of individual detectors (13) positioned adjacently and defining an active area responsive to x-rays. Each of the individual detectors has a rectangular shape and they define together an overall active area with a length y and a width x. The device comprises at least one detector module on which said individual detectors are mounted. The individual detectors comprise at least two individual Cd(Zn)Te detectors juxtaposed next to each other with an average physical gap (14) of at least 0.005 mm between the outside-most edges of the Cd(Zn)Te detectors.
