摘要:
A combined imaging plate scanning and erasing system, comprising: (a) a housing; (b) an imaging plate cassette infeed assembly positioned within the housing, the maging plate cassette infeed assembly comprising: (i) a mechanism to pull an imaging plate cassette into the housing; (ii) a mechanism to open the imaging plate cassette; and (iii) a mechanism to remove an imaging plate from the cassette; (c) a scanner positioned within the housing; (d) a curved path erasing assembly positioned between the imaging plate infeed assembly and the scanner; and (e) an imaging plate transportation assembly to move the imaging plate back and forth in a path extending from the imaging plate cassette, past the erasing assembly and through a scan area adjacent to the scanner.
摘要:
A system for scanning an imaging plate, comprising: a continuous belt drive; a first scanning head mounted to the belt drive; a second scanning head mounted to the belt drive; and a laser positioned to direct a laser beam in a beam path across the imaging plate, wherein the continuous belt drive is positioned to sequentially move each of the first and second scanning heads in a path collinear with the laser beam path when moving across the imaging plate.
摘要:
A multiple-head scanning device (20) for reading an image stored on a photostimulable phosphor storage screen (10), comprising, a rotatable frame having a center (13) and an outer perimeter (15); a photomultiplier tube (40) mounted to the rotatable frame at a location proximal the center (13) of the rotatable frame; a plurality of radially extending optical trains (12) mounted to the rotatable frame at 120 degrees to one another, each optical train (12) configured to direct incident laser light towards phosphor storage screen (10) and to direct response radiation emitted by phosphor storage (10) screen in response to the incident laser light towards the photomultiplier tube (40).
摘要:
A system for matching optical and radiographic images, including: a digital radiography beam emitter; and an optical camera connected to the digital radiography beam emitter; wherein a digital radiographic image is recorded concurrently with a image from the optical camera.
摘要:
A digital radiography system, having: a pixilated optical detector; and a mask positioned adjacent to the pixilated optical detector, the mask comprising a repeating pattern of first and second portions configured to pass different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation therethrough such that a polychromic X-ray image can be taken using only a single X-ray exposure with a single imaging detector.
