    摘要: A method for enhancing the hue and lightness characteristics of a digital color image, the digital color image having pixel values from which digital luminance and color difference values can be deduced, includes the steps of: deducing digital luminance and digital color difference values for pixels of the digital color image; using the pixels of the digital color image to calculate an image dependent transform; using the image dependent transform to modify the digital luminance values for pixels of the digital color image to form modified luminance values; calculating a color transform that modifies the original digital color difference values in a manner that consistently and smoothly moves the values toward or away from predetermined digital color difference values; and using the color transform to modify the original color difference values for pixels of the digital color image to produce modified color difference values.

    摘要: A method for generating a transform for converting a digital color image signal expressed as color values in a first color space having a first color gamut to code values for driving an output device having a second color gamut different from the first color gamut includes the steps of: transforming the color values of the first color space to color values in an intermediate color space; specifying one or more predefined color regions in an intermediate color space; preferentially mapping the color values in the intermediate color space into the second color gamut by smoothly translating the color values to fit the second color gamut while restricting the mapping to regions outside of the predefined color regions to produce enhanced modified color values in the intermediate color space; and transforming the modified color values to code values for driving the output device.

    摘要: Embodiments of radiographic imaging systems and/or methods can operate a digital radiography detector in a multiple modes, where characteristics such as an exposure integration time and dark images (e.g., number timing integration time, etc.) for first and second modes are different. The digital radiography detector can be coupled to a memory that can store a first set of one or more calibration maps for the first mode and a second set of one or more calibration maps for the second mode and a processor. In one embodiment, the processor can form a first calibration-corrected exposure image by modifying a first exposure image from the first mode using the first set of calibration maps and a second calibration-corrected exposure image by modifying a second exposure image from the second mode using the second set of calibration maps in combination with calibration maps for the first mode.

    摘要: A method of forming an offset-corrected exposure image includes obtaining an initial exposure image and exposure metadata related to the initial exposure image. An intermediate offset-corrected exposure image is formed by obtaining one or more dark images associated with the initial exposure image and subtracting an averaged value of the one or more dark images from the initial exposure image. The offset-corrected exposure image is obtained by combining an offset adjustment map with the intermediate offset-corrected exposure image.

    摘要: A method for transferring data from a digital radiography receiver panel obtains, at the receiver panel, a full-sized set of image data that comprises a diagnostic image for a patient and at least one reference image for dark signal compensation. A wireless transmission channel between the receiver panel and a separate host processor is monitored to obtain a transmission performance measure. The obtained transmission performance measure is compared against a predetermined threshold value. The response to the comparison is either (a) processing at least some portion of the full-sized set of image data at the receiver panel to form a reduced-size set of image data, then wirelessly transmitting the reduced-size set of image data to the host processor; or (b) wirelessly transmitting the full-sized set of image data from the receiver panel to the host processor.

    摘要: A system for monitoring the state of calibration of a digital x-ray detector having a solid state sensor with a plurality of pixels, a scintillating screen and at least one embedded microprocessor, the system having means for capturing a digital image and a computer operable during normal diagnostic use of the detector, in cooperation with at least one embedded microprocessor, for performing pixelwise computations on the image and calculating a misregistration metric indicative of movement of the solid state sensor relative to the scintillating screen. A defect metric indicative of abnormal properties of pixels in the solid state sensor is calculated. It is then determined whether one or both of the misregistration metric and the defect metric exceeds a respective, preselected threshold value. The user of the system is alerted to conduct a calibration of the detector when either one or both of the respective threshold values have been exceeded.

    摘要: A method of obtaining recommendations for lowered radiation dose for a type of radiological image, executed at least in part by a computer system, obtains at least one clinical image of at least one patient, taken under a baseline set of exposure conditions, as a basis image. Processing instructions related to image simulation under one or more reduced exposure conditions are obtained. The basis image is processed according to the processing instructions to generate a set of one or more simulation images, each simulation image representative of corresponding reduced exposure conditions. One or more simulation images are displayed to one or more diagnostic practitioners and an evaluation obtained from the one or more practitioners related to at least the quality of the one or more simulation images. At least one recommended reduced exposure condition is generated and electronically stored according to the practitioner evaluation.
