Abstract
Methods and systems for X-ray and fluoroscopic image capture and, in particular, to a versatile, multimode imaging system incorporating a handheld X-ray emitter operative to capture non-invasive images of a target; a stage operative to capture static X-ray and dynamic fluoroscopic images of the target; a system for the tracking and positioning of the X-ray emission to improve safety of obtaining X-ray images as well as improve the quality of X-ray images. Where the devices can automatically limit the field of the X-ray emission.
Claims14
A non-invasive imaging system for confirming placement of an object positioned in an examination area, the non-invasive imaging system comprising:
- a non-invasive imaging sensor having a detecting perimeter configured to receive an emission energy allowing for generation of a non-invasive image of the object when the object is positioned on or adjacent to the non-invasive imaging sensor;
- a plurality of position tracking implements fixedly positioned relative to the non-invasive imaging sensor;
- an emitting apparatus having an aperture opening that is configured to emit the emission energy in an emission profile, the emitting apparatus further including a position tracking apparatus configured to produce a positioning signal and a camera system configured to produce an image signal, where the positioning signal is produced upon detecting one or more of the plurality of position tracking implements;
- a display configured to receive the image signal to produce a real-time image having a point of view from the aperture opening;
- and
- a control system configured to convert the positioning signal into a plurality of positioning data of the emitting apparatus relative to the non-invasive imaging sensor, the control system further configured to use the positioning data to generate a first virtual image of the detecting perimeter and a second virtual image of the emission profile, where the control system is further configured to display the first virtual image and the second virtual image with the real-time image on the first display.
