Abstract:
To provide a display apparatus capable of easily finding out a simplified image needed out of a large number of simplified images about the same patient by an operator. The display apparatus includes a display controller which causes a display unit to display a view X in which simplified images M of the same patient are arranged in a row direction for every accompanying information of one attribute and arranged in a column direction for every accompanying information of other attributes, and an input unit which performs the input of selecting and changing a desired attribute out of the plural attributes displayed in the display unit by the operator and the input of selecting desired accompanying information from the view X displayed in the display unit. The display controller rearranges the simplified images M for every accompanying information of the attribute changed by the input unit and causes a view X comprised of only simplified images M having the accompanying information selected by the input unit to be displayed.
Abstract:
A method for distributing digital medical images between an capture device and a image display device remote from the capture device when a user desires to reprocess an enhanced digital medical image at the image display device. The user initiates a request from the image display device for the unenhanced digital medical image stored at the image capture device, and the request from the image display device is transmitted to the image capture device. The unenhanced digital medical image is then transmitted from the image capture device to the image display device.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for managing radiographic images (66) includes a capture device (15), a file server (30), a database server (28), a user workstation (23), and a data storage device (16) with removable media (see figure 3) Digital images (66) are captured b the capture device (15), automatically stored on the file server (30), maintained as the original image and archived to the data storag device (16). The workstation (23) copies and displays digital images (66). The database server (28) includes image records and patient records. The image records include all user manipulations of the digital image (66) as commands, and recalled digital image (66) are displayed as last viewed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for reading out at least one especially flexible imaging plate. The readout device comprises a reader for reading out information stored on the imaging plate, and a transport device having at least one drive means for transporting the imaging plate relative to the reader along a guide means on the transport path. The shape of the transport path is adapted to the shape of a readout area of the reader. At least one substantially solid support (1) for the imaging plate is provided. The shape and dimensions of the support (1) are adapted to the shape of the transport path. When the imaging plate is transported together with the support (1), the imaging plate does not come into contact with the drive means. The invention also relates to the support (1) for the imaging plate.
Abstract:
A system for performing a medical procedure on a patient is provided. The system can include an imaging head defining a field of view relative to the patient. The imaging head can include at least one transmitter that emits at least one signal in the field of view, and at least one receiver that receives at least one reflected signal from the field of view. The at least one reflected signal received can be based on at least one electrical property of at least one material in the field of view. The system can further include a workstation, which can determine, based on the at least one reflected signal received by the at least one receiver, a location of at least one boundary of the material within the field of view. The system can include a display that displays an image of the location of the at least one boundary.
Abstract:
A device, system, and method for activating and initializing an in vivo imaging device with an RF radiation signal. Functionality of the in vivo imaging device is tested and results may be reported to a user. The in vivo imaging device may include an RF switch to facilitate powering or deactivation of one or more electrical components of the device. The initialization system may include an optical artifact testing unit, a field of illumination testing unit, and a transmission/reception testing unit. The activation system may comprise an in vivo device association unit which may relate a designated device to a single data recorder or to a single controller.

Abstract:
A scanning apparatus including a cylindrical member (12) and an optical system (14) . The cylindrical member rotates about a rotational axis (16) and has an outer surface (18) to support a storage phosphor sample (20) thereon. The optical system moves in translation in a direction (22) parallel to the rotational axis to scan the sample. The optical system comprises an opening (40) , an excitation beam (42) , an integrating member (50) , and a single detector (54) . The excitation beam (42) is directed through the opening (40) to impinge on a sample (20) and cause light to be emitted from the sample. The integrating member (50) reflects the emitted light using an interior three-dimensional polynomial surface providing diffuse reflection. The single detector (54) is disposed adjacent the integrating member (50) for collecting the reflected emitted light.
