    摘要: A universal radiographic/fluoroscopic "room" is constructed according to the present invention by combining a versatile group of X-ray examination system components, electrical and mechanical drive components, and sensing components, under the supervision of a flexible control system, to form a universal diagnostic medical imaging system capable of performing radiographic, fluoroscopic, tomographic, and stepped examinations in several different operator-selectable configurations. The operator selects any available operating mode, including auto-bucky, auto-wall, auto-table, auto-table/wall, servo-tomo, conventional stepping, stepped-digital, auto-step, and auto-step-center modes, using a a control panel. The control system automatically determines which system components are required to perform that type of examination, moves the components into operational or storage positions as required, and prepares each component for operation. The operator need not manually reconfigure the equipment. In "stepped-digital" modes useful for peripheral angiography, an under-table X-ray tube and over-table image intensifier execute a series of radiographic exposures at preselected locations. The digital imaging platform is moved while the patient remains stationary. This reduces motion artifacts. For each step, a test fluoroscopic exposure is performed under automatic brightness control to determine an optimum technique. The technique so determined is converted for use in a subsequent radiographic exposure. The operator observes the flow of the contrast medium during the test fluoroscopic exposure and commands the radiographic exposure when the contrast medium arrives at the desired position in the image. Alternatively, the control system may detect the presence of the contrast medium in the image by comparing a change in image contrast with a previously observed threshold change.

    摘要: In an illustrated embodiment, a switch control handle is shiftable from an upper position to a lower position to disconnect the fluoroscopic x-ray voltage and condition the circuitry for a transition to photographic exposure. Further downward shifting connects the x-ray high voltage until the automatic exposure control terminates the exposure. By coupling the control handle to a selector switch, a single manually adjustable set point potentiometer may select the fluoroscopy voltage set point in the upper position of the handle while adjusting the exposure time for patient constitution in the lower position.

    摘要: In a fluoroscopic and photographic exposure installation where photographic exposure high voltage is normally automatically derived from the voltage setting during fluoroscopy, a pair of manually operable switches are provided in the motor control circuit for inserting respective preselected reference levels which override the normal adjustment of exposure voltage based on fluoroscopic voltage, and instead control the exposure voltage selectively to a higher setting giving a particularly brief exposure, or to a relatively low value giving improved contrast.

    摘要: An apparatus and method is disclosed for producing photographs and bright fluoroscopic television pictures of radiation patterns from a subject as converted to visible light images by an image tube. The apparatus includes a radiation source for directing X-radiation through a subject, and an image tube for receiving that radiation and producing in response thereto a visible image of the pattern of such radiation impinging upon the image tube. The apparatus also includes a film camera and a television camera for viewing the image tube output. A diverter apparatus controls the selective transmission of the light image from the image tube onto the film camera and television camera.The film camera is directly aligned with the image tube output. The television camera is transversely displaced with respect to the image tube output. The diverter directs light from the image tube to the television camera in bursts syncronized with the field repetition rate of the television camera. During the remainder of the time, the diverter permits light from the image tube output to pass directly to the film camera.
