    摘要: An x-ray bone densitometry system having an apparatus for positioning body parts is provided. The system includes a patient table having a length extending along a Y-axis and a width extending along an X-axis, a C-arm supporting an x-ray source at one side and an x-ray detector at an opposite side of the table, wherein the source and detector are aligned along a source-detector axis which is transverse to the Y-axis. The source is selectively energized and emits a fan beam of x-rays which conforms to a beam plane which is transverse to the Y-axis and contains the source-detector axis. A forearm positioner is removably supported on the table and includes an arm rest portion positioned at a selected distance along the X-axis from an edge of the table. A hand supporting member is configured to fit within the arm rest portion to maintain the position of a patient's hand in a predetermined shape when the source is energized.

    摘要: A whole body x-ray bone densitometry system includes a table extending parallel to a Y-axis of an XYZ coordinate system for supporting a patient at a patient position; an x-ray source for emitting a narrow angle fan beam of x-rays to irradiate at any one time a scan line which is transverse to the Y-axis and is substantially shorter than the width of a body cross-section of a typical adult patient occupying the patient position. An x-ray detector is aligned with the source along a source-detector axis which is transverse to the Y-axis, for receiving x-rays from the source within the angle of the fan beam after passage thereof through the patient position. The detector has a number of detecting elements arranged along a direction transverse to the Y-axis and to the source-detector axis. A source-detector support on which the source and detector are mounted at opposite sides of the patient position is coupled with a scanning mechanism moving at least one of the patient table and the source-detector support relative to the other to scan the patient position with the narrow angle fan beam in successive scans parallel to the Y-axis in which the source-detector axis is at different angles relative to the patient position as between different ones of successive scans, but in each of the successive scans, an origin of the fan beam in the source is at the same vertical distance from the patient table. The distance between the fan beam origin and the table may be selectively varied between scan passes, in order to vary scan pass magnification.

    摘要: A sample of whole blood is stained with an acridine orange reagent, and is analyzed rapidly, a cell at a time, in a flow cytometry system having a sample stream dimension in the range of expected red cell dimensions. Red florescence and forward scatter data is utilized first to discriminate a cell from noise, and then to distinguish platelets from reticulocytes and red cells. The red cell and reticulocyte data is subjected to a correction such as rotational coordinate shift, and the shifted data are, by means of statistical procedures, utilized to determine threshold criteria separating red cells from reticulocytes, and to enumerate the cells on that basis.

    摘要: Radiological apparatus, such as bone densitometry measurement systems that utilize a penetrating radiation source, such as an x-ray source is provided. The apparatus includes a patient table with a length extending along a Y-axis and a width extending along an X-axis and a C-arm supporting, for example, an x-ray source at one side of the table and an x-ray detector at an opposite side of the table such that the source and detector are aligned along a source-detector axis. The source is energized to emit a fan beam of x-rays which conform to a beam plane which is transverse to the Y-axis and contains the source-detector axis. Either, or both, the C-arm or the table are selectively movable relative to the other along the X-axis, along the Y-axis, and along a Z-axis which is transverse to both the X-axis and the Y-axis, so that selected regions of a patient on the table can be selectively scanned with the fan beam of X-rays. In addition, the C-arm is selectively rotatable around a rotational axis extending along the Y-axis to selectively change the angle of the fan beam relative to a patient on the table.
