    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for an integrated arm of an imaging device. In one example, an imaging system may comprise: a base unit; a C-arm coupled to the base unit and including an x-ray source and detector positioned on opposite ends of a C-shaped portion of the C-arm; and a display monitor attached to the C-arm via an integrated arm, wherein the display monitor is movable between a first position on a first side of the C-arm, to a second position on a second side of the C-arm by traveling over a top of an upper half of the C-shaped portion. In this way, the integrated arm may provide a simplified means of orienting the display monitor while promoting better performance of the imaging system.

    Abstract: An x-ray system with multiple dynamic range selections. The system including an x-ray source and a detector, wherein the detector includes a scintillator and a pixel. The pixel includes a photodiode and first and second capacitors connectable to the photodiode. The pixel is configured to be switched between a first state where only the first capacitor is connected to the photodiode and a second state where both capacitors are connected to the photodiode. The x-ray source directs x-rays to the detector and a region of interest positioned between the source and detector, the scintillator converts the x-rays to light, and the pixel photodiode converts the light to an electrical charge. The charge is stored in the first capacitor when the pixel is in the first state and in the first and second capacitors when the pixel is in the second state.

    Abstract: C-arm retention locks allowing users to secure and unsecure C-arm positioning devices of an X-ray machine, systems containing such locks, and methods of using such locks are described. The C-arm retention lock comprises a latch bail and a latching assembly. The latching assembly comprises a latch base having an ear and a generally flat engagement surface at an end of the latch base proximate the ear, a latch having an arm, the latch being pivotally connected to the latch base so the latch is rotatable between closed and open positions, and a tensioning device engaging the latch and latch base such that the tensioning device pulls the latch toward either of the closed or open positions. The latching assembly or latch bail is configured to be connected to a C-arm and the latching assembly retains the latch bail between the ear and the arm when the latch is closed.
