摘要: An X-ray imaging system using multiple pulsed X-ray sources to perform highly efficient and ultrafast 3D radiography is presented. There are multiple pulsed X-ray sources mounted on a structure in motion to form an array of sources. The multiple X-ray sources move simultaneously relative to an object on a pre-defined arc track at a constant speed as a group. Electron beam inside each individual X-ray tube is deflected by magnetic or electrical field to move focal spot a small distance. When focal spot of an X-ray tube beam has a speed that is equal to group speed but with opposite moving direction, the X-ray source and X-ray flat panel detector are activated through an external exposure control unit so that source tube stay momentarily standstill equivalently. 3D scan can cover much wider sweep angle in much shorter time and image analysis can also be done in real-time.

摘要: System and method are disclosed for imaging acquisition from sparse partial scans of distributed wide angle. During real time image reconstruction, artificial intelligence (AI) determines if there is enough information to perform diagnostics based on initial scans. If there is enough information from the fractional scans, then data acquisition stops; if more information is needed, then system performs another round of wide-angle sparse scans in a new location progressively until a result is satisfactory. The system reduces X-ray dose on a patient and performs quicker X-ray scan at multiple pulsed source-in-motion tomosynthesis imaging system. The method and system also significantly reduce the amount of time required to display high quality three-dimensional tomosynthesis images.

摘要: Disclosed are image recognition Artificial Intelligence (AI) training methods for multiple pulsed X-ray source-in-motion tomosynthesis imaging system. Image recognition AI training can be performed three ways: first, using existing acquired chest CT data set with known nodules to generate synthetic tomosynthesis Images, no X-ray radiation applied; second, taking X-ray raw images with anthropomorphic chest phantoms with simulated lung nodules, applying X-ray beam on phantom only; third, acquiring X-ray images using multiple pulsed source-in-motion tomosynthesis images from real patients with real known nodules and without nodules. An X-ray image recognition training network that is configured to receive X-ray training images, automatically determine whether the received images indicate a nodule or lesion condition. After training, image knowledge is updated and stored at knowledge database.

摘要: An X-ray imaging system using multiple pulsed X-ray source pairs in-motion to perform highly efficient and ultrafast 3D radiography is presented. The sources move simultaneously on arc trajectory at a constant speed as a group. Each individual source also moves rapidly around its static position in a small distance, but one moves in opposite direction to the other to cancel out linear momentum. Trajectory can also be arranged at a ring structure horizontally. In X-ray source pairs each moves in opposite angular direction to another to cancel out angular momentum. When an individual X-ray source has a speed that equals to group speed but an opposite linear or angular direction, the individual X-ray source is triggered through an external exposure control unit. This allows the source to stay relatively standstill during activation. 3D data can be acquired with wider view in shorter time and image analysis is real-time.

摘要: A dynamic multi-leaf collimator system for X-ray exposure on region of interest in conjunction with multiple source-in-motion tomosynthesis imaging system is disclosed. The system comprises two opposite banks of thin heavy metal leaves arranged in parallel and stagger formation. The leaves are individually driven by electrical motors, can move in straight line in at least one direction and create multiple X-ray exposure holes with desired shapes. The leaves are made of thin heavy metal capable of blocking kV level X-rays. After a preliminary X-ray imaging scan, artificial intelligence or system operator can determine location of region of interest and then determine location of collimation holes. Therefore, subsequent X-ray imaging scan will be performed with automatic collimation dynamically, X-ray dose on an object or patient is then greatly reduced.

摘要: A modular X-ray source and method for replacement of such an X-ray source are disclosed. The source is inside a consumable modular enclosure where the entire assembly is swapped out during maintenance. The enclosure covers an X-ray tube, high voltage circuit boards 6 and cooling insulating oil are arranged inside the module enclosure. The enclosure structure includes an X-ray window, connector engagement alignment guide and electrical connectors. The modular X-ray source is used in a multiple source tomosynthesis imaging system where multiple pulsed X-ray sources are utilized. The easy replacement of X-ray tube assembly inside the consumable modular enclosure results in lower maintenance cost and overall reliable X-ray imaging machine. The modular source has potential to increase the machine volume in the field and create new standards for replaceable modular X-ray source.
