Abstract: New and improved CT imaging systems are presented which improve the ability to deploy CT imaging in a mobile setting, such as in an ambulatory setting or as part of a mobile hospital unit. Improvements disclosed include implementation of an internal drive system for moving a scanner component relative to a fixed or static platform/base, improved modularity of components for quick maintenance/repair and the inclusion of an integrated patient alignment mechanism connected directly to the CT system.

Abstract: A cooling system used in an X-ray generator having a cathode and anode that includes a target having a focal spot, wherein heat is generated in the anode and focal spot during operation of the X-ray generator. The system includes a heat transfer element attached to the anode wherein the heat transfer element includes a plurality of fin elements that transfer heat from the anode to surrounding air to cool the anode. The system also includes a liquid channel formed in the anode, wherein the liquid channel includes a cooling liquid. The liquid channel is located adjacent the target wherein heat from the focal spot is transferred to the cooling liquid to cool the focal spot wherein the heat transfer element, liquid channel and anode are unistructurally formed. Further, the cooling system includes a circulation pump that moves the cooling liquid in the liquid channel.

Abstract: In example embodiments, a CT imaging system is provided comprising opposing x-ray generation and x-ray detector assemblies and a motion mechanism configured for simultaneously rotationally orbiting the x-ray generation and x-ray detector assemblies around a patient's anatomy along a main axis of rotation of the imaging system while rotationally oscillating the x-ray generation and x-ray detector assemblies about a spinning oscillation axis which is perpendicular to both the main axis of rotation and to a transmission axis extending between the x ray generation and detector assemblies. Further improvements related to a patient support platform and a biopsy attachment are also described herein.

Abstract: New and improved CT imaging systems are presented which are low cost, fully self-contained and easily installed/used. Example improvements include implementation of an integrated and self-contained drive system for moving a scanner component relative to a fixed or static platform/base which also acts as an imaging table. The CT imaging system is also greatly simplified to improve ease of use and to reduce cost.

Abstract: A hydraulic stabilizer system for a portable medical imaging system. The system includes at least two hydraulic cylinders each having a shaft extending through a first wall of the respective cylinder, wherein each shaft is moveable relative to the respective cylinder. First and second ends of each shaft include a spring support element and a foot for contacting associated uneven floor portions. A retraction spring is located between the spring support element and an inner surface of the first wall of each cylinder. The system also includes a hydraulic circuit for supplying hydraulic fluid to the cylinders, wherein the cylinders are in fluid communication with each other. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the cylinders to cause downward movement of the shafts until the feet contact the associated uneven floor portions such that the pressure exerted by the feet against the associated uneven floor portions is equalized.
