Abstract
A personal display apparatus includes a dual-use transparent plate, a detector, and electronic circuitry. The dual-use transparent plate is configured to be worn by a user while the user is viewing a scene, to block, at least partially, X-rays from passing through the transparent plate and reaching an eye of the user, and to display information to be viewed by the user overlaid on the scene. The detector is coupled to the transparent plate and is configured to measure a level of the X-rays. The electronic circuitry is connected to the transparent plate and to the detector, and is configured to exchange display signals with the transparent plate so as to display the information, and to send a control signal indicative of the level of the X-rays measured by the detector.
Claims16
A personal display apparatus, comprising:
- a dual-use plate, which is configured to:
- be worn by a user while the user is viewing a scene;
- block, at least partially, X-ray radiation from passing through the dual-use plate and reaching an eye of the user;
- and
- display information to be viewed by the user overlaid on the scene;
- a detector, which is coupled to the dual-use plate and is configured to measure a level of the X-ray radiation;
- and electronic circuitry, which is connected to the dual-use plate and to the detector, and is configured to exchange display signals with the dual-use plate so as to display the information, and to send a control signal indicative of the level of the X-ray radiation measured by the detector.
A personal display apparatus, comprising:
- a dual-use plate, which is configured to:

- a detector, which is coupled to the dual-use plate and is configured to measure a level of the X-ray radiation;
- and electronic circuitry, which is connected to the dual-use plate and to the detector, and is configured to exchange display signals with the dual-use plate so as to display the information, and to send a control signal indicative of the level of the X-ray radiation measured by the detector,
- wherein the electronic circuitry comprises a transceiver, which is configured to exchange the display signals and the control signal with an external system,
- wherein the external system comprises an imaging system.
A personal display apparatus, comprising:
- a dual-use plate, which is configured to:
- be worn by a user while the user is viewing a scene;
- block, at least partially, X-ray radiation from passing through the dual-use plate and reaching an eye of the user;
- and
- display information to be viewed by the user overlaid on the scene;
- a detector, which is coupled to the dual-use plate and is configured to measure a level of the X-ray radiation;
- and electronic circuitry, which is connected to the dual-use plate and to the detector, and is configured to exchange display signals with the dual-use plate so as to display the information, and to send a control signal indicative of the level of the X-ray radiation measured by the detector,
- wherein the scene presents an organ of a patient in which the user carries out a medical procedure.
A method for producing a personal display apparatus, the method comprising:
- providing a dual-use plate, to be worn by a user while the user is viewing a scene, wherein the dual-use plate is capable of (i) blocking, at least partially, X-ray radiation from passing through the dual-use plate and reaching an eye of the user, and (ii) displaying information to be viewed by the user overlaid on the scene;
- coupling to the dual-use plate a detector that measures a level of the X-ray radiation;
- and connecting to the dual-use plate and to the detector, electronic circuitry for exchanging display signals with the dual-use plate, and for sending a control signal indicative of the level of the X-ray radiation measured by the detector.
