Abstract:
A device, comprising: a display component; and a drive component comprising a stack of layers defining an array of display pixel conductors each connected within the stack of layers to a drive conductor by a respective radiation-sensitive channel, wherein a change in the intensity of radiation to which a radiation-sensitive channel is exposed causes a change in the electric potential at the respective display pixel conductor relative to a drive voltage applied to the drive conductor and the change in the electric potential at the respective display pixel conductor causes a change in the display of the respective pixel area of the display component.
Abstract:
A method of providing medical imaging guidance information for use in operating a medical imaging apparatus detects motion of an examinee placed on a support table positioned for imaging by a medical imaging device. The method compares a level of the detected motion with a predetermined threshold value and adaptively selects and provides guidance information enabling reducing impairment of image quality due to examinee physical motion, in response to the comparison.
Abstract:
A medical imaging apparatus having multiple image projecting units for projecting images for a subject to view is disclosed. The medical imaging apparatus is present in a scanning room for performing imaging of the subject. The medical imaging apparatus includes a table for holding the subject. The table along with the subject is facilitated by an image capturing subsystem to pass therethrough for capturing medical images of the subject. The multiple image projecting units are configured within the image capturing subsystem for projecting images to one or more of walls of the scanning room and an inner surface of the image capturing subsystem.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for performing a job list of radiographic recordings indicated in a radiographic information system. The method comprises communicating said job list to a mobile apparatus, e.g. a smartphone, whereby, in a first step, a peer-to-peer communication is set up between the radiographic information system and the mobile apparatus by means of a Near Field Communication technique, whereupon said job list is transmitted to the mobile apparatus via a WIFI peer-to-peer communication. A radiographer then completes the job list by using inter alia a self-triggering direct radiographic panel and a radiographic generator.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a feedback system for control or input gestures in a medical environment, comprising: - a presence detector (3) which generates a threshold (2) and acquires detection data which describe whether a medical input gesture reaches and/or crosses the threshold (2); and - a computer (8) which is connected to the presence detector (3) and triggers a sterility-preserving response to a positive detection by the presence detector (3), wherein the computer (8) is configured to provide user guidance comprising a warning message if actual contact with a medical display has been detected by the presence detector or a touch screen display or a touch detector on the display. The invention also relates to a medical image display system comprising such a feedback system and to a method of providing sterility-preserving feedback with respect to control or input gestures in a medical system.
Abstract:
A method for increasing the temporal fidelity, increasing the temporal sampling density, and/or reducing the temporal noise of a series of image frames obtained with a medical imaging system is provided. The image frames are acquired with the medical imaging system. The medical imaging system may be, for example, an x-ray C-arm imaging system. A window function that is representative of a temporal fidelity window is selected and used to temporally deconvolve the image frames using a minimization technique. A temporal sampling density may also be selected and used in the temporal deconvoiution. The resultant deconvolved image frames have a higher temporal fidelity to a time-varying image contrast depicted in the acquired image frames, and may also have an increased temporal sampling density and/or reduced temporal noise.
