    摘要: A system and method for asynchronous calibration of a solid-state detector are provided. A first offset is obtained with a first frame interval. A second offset image is obtained with a second frame interval that is shorter than the first frame interval. A third offset image is obtained with a third frame interval that is longer than the first frame interval. The first offset image is offset with each of the second offset image and the third offset image to produce offset comparison images. Pixels in the offset comparison images with an intensity value that exceeds an asynchronous threshold intensity value are identified as asynchronous bad pixels and added to a bad pixel map. Subsequently acquired x-ray images are offset with corresponding offset images. The bad pixel map is used to identify asynchronous bad pixels in the displayed images.

    摘要: A method is provided to identify pixels in a digital x-ray detector that experience an amount of residual charge that is sufficient to cause an image artifact. A lag artifact threshold is obtained. The lag artifact threshold identifies an amount of residual charge that, when held by the pixels in the digital x-ray detector, will cause image artifacts. A pixel lag experienced by a pixel is determined. The pixel lag may be different for each pixel. Pixels that have a pixel lag exceeding the lag artifact threshold are identified and corrected.

    摘要: A system and method for improved imaging of a patient through the use of low-dose exposure aided positioning is provided. The patient is positioned in the X-ray system and them imaged with a low-dose pre-shot to verify the positioning of the patient. If the patient's positioning is acceptable, the patient is then imaged with a full-dose X-ray exposure. If the patient's positioning is not acceptable, the patient is repositioned and re-imaged with a low-dose pre-shot until the patient's positioning is acceptable. The low-dose pre-shot may take the form of a low-dose X-ray imaging sequence. The present invention thus provides for rapid verification of the proper positioning of the patient in the X-ray system in order to provide for optimal X-ray image quality. Additionally, the X-ray imaging system thus minimizes the additional exposure to X-ray radiation on the part of the patient.

    摘要: A system and method for eliminating image artifacts caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI) on a digital x-ray detector. The system and method includes a digital x-ray detector panel having an array of pixels in rows and columns, with a plurality of data lines coupled to the columns of pixels and a plurality of scan lines coupled to the rows of pixels. The system and method uses certain photodiodes in a row of the pixel array for measuring EMI with corresponding scan line and FETs deactivated and eliminating the EMI and image artifacts with the remaining photodiodes in the row with corresponding scan line and FETs activated.
