    Abstract: A radiological apparatus including: a gantry encapsulated within a cover, a patient platform, and two radiation sources with imaging directions orthogonal to each other, sliding vertically to perform vertical scanning of a patient standing on the platform. The gantry cover top view is L shaped, each radiation source being located outside the gantry cover, inside the angular sector of the L, and is encapsulated within a cover sliding vertically with the radiation source it encapsulates. The radiological apparatus also includes: a first security device stopping the vertical scanning, when it detects a patient body part going outside a first predetermined area, to avoid collision with the vertically sliding radiation sources covers, and a second security device stopping the vertical scanning, when it detects an object or a person external to the radiological apparatus within a second predetermined area, to avoid collision with the vertically sliding radiation sources covers.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of radiography of an organ of a patient, comprising: first vertical scanning and said second vertical scanning being performed synchronously, wherein a computed correction is processed on both first and second raw images, on at least part of patient scanned height, for at least overweight or obese patients, so as to reduce, between first and second corrected images, cross-scattering existing between said first and second raw images, and wherein said computed correction processing on both said first and second raw images comprises: a step (32, 33, 34) of making a patient specific modeling, using as patient specific data therefore at least both first and second raw images, preferably mainly both first and second raw images, more preferably only both first and second raw images, a step (34, 35) of determining a patient specific representation of radiation scattering by said patient specific modeling, a step (36) of processing said patient specific radiation scattering representation on both said first and second raw images so as to get said first and second corrected images.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of preoperative planning to correct spine misalignment of a patient, comprising a step of making a translation and a rotation, in a sagittal plane, of each vertebra of a set of several cervical and/or thoracic and/or lumbar imaged spine vertebrae, so that said set of imaged vertebrae presents afterwards, in the sagittal plane, the same cervical lordosis and/or the same thoracic kyphosis and/or the same lumbar lordosis as a model adapted for said patient, wherein it also comprises, before said step of making said translation and said rotation in a sagittal plane: a step of making a translation and a rotation, in a coronal plane, of each vertebra of said set of several cervical and/or thoracic and/or lumbar imaged spine vertebrae, so that said set of imaged vertebrae becomes straight in said coronal plane, and of making a rotation, in an axial plane, of each vertebra of said set of several cervical and/or thoracic and/or lumbar imaged spine vertebrae, so that said set of imaged vertebrae becomes axially aligned.
