Abstract:
A medical imaging system includes a first x-ray image detector, a first x-ray generator, and a motorized turntable. The first x-ray image detector and the first x-ray generator are each mounted on a base and positioned opposite each other such that x-rays are projected from the first x-ray generator to the first x-ray image detector through a first imaging volume. The motorized turntable is positioned below the first imaging volume and between the first x-ray image detector and the first x-ray generator and is configured to rotate an imaging subject within the imaging volume.
Abstract:
A method of generating a three-dimensional volumetric representation of a subject. The method includes capturing a first image of the subject with a first capture device from a first perspective, accessing a stored volumetric model of the subject, and approximating a first orientation of the stored volumetric model that corresponds to the first perspective. A digitally simulated radiograph is generated from the stored volumetric model and compared to the captured first image. A second image is also captured at the same time as the first picture, but from a different perspective. A second orientation of the stored volumetric model is approximated that corresponds to the second image. A second digitally simulated radiograph is generated and compared to the second image. Based on the approximated orientations, a three-dimensional volumetric representation of the subject is generated by positioning the stored volumetric model according to the first orientation and the second orientation.

Abstract:
A robotic scanning system is provided. The scanning system includes a robotic array having at least one set of scanning robots configured to perform a radiological scan on a subject, each robot having a respective emitter or detector. A control unit in electrical communication with the robotic array controls the set of scanning robots to perform the radiological scan in accordance with scan settings received from a work station. The work station is configured to permit a user to select a radiological scan to perform on the subject from a plurality of different types of radiological scans selectable by the user. An image processing device in the system receives scan data from the robotic array and produces image data indicative of a multi-dimensional image of at least a portion of the subject.

Abstract:
An adaptable surface system including a plurality of individually adjustable surface units and a plurality of pressure sensors. Each pressure sensor corresponds to one of the adjustable subsurface units and is positioned to measure an amount of pressure exerted upon the subsurface unit. The system also includes a controller that receives a first pressure value from a pressure sensor, compares the value to a threshold, and adjusts the height of the first subsurface unit based on the comparison. The controller also receives a second pressure value from a second pressure sensor, compares the second pressure value to the threshold, and adjusts the height of a second subsurface unit based on the comparison.
Abstract:
A medical imaging system includes at least two robotic arms each with an imaging device component positioned at its distal end. A controller is configured to controllably adjust the pivots of the robotic arms to control the position and perspective angle of both imaging device component such that the perspective angle of each imaging device component faces the other imaging device component along an imaging axis. The controller and both robotic arms are further configured to rotate the imaging axis to any angle relative to the imaging volume along a plane of movement.
