A collar device (100) for mounting with an image receptor (50) of an x-ray imaging system (10), the collar device comprising:
- a housing (110) configured for mounting about said image receptor;
- a base (120) coupled to the housing, the base including a channel (121) extending along a periphery (122) of the base;
- and
- a rotating assembly (130) coupled to the base and configured to rotate about the channel;
- the rotating assembly further comprising:
- a radiolucent marker (131) extending from a first end (132) to a second end (133) along at least a portion of a diameter (D) of the rotating assembly,
- a second radiolucent marker (231) coupled to the rotating assembly, and
- a laser source assembly (135) coupled to the rotating assembly and configured to project laser light (136) within a laser light plane (137).
A collar device for use with a medical imaging system, the collar device comprising:
- a base configured to couple with a portion of the medical imaging system;
- a rotating assembly being rotatably coupled to the base;
- the rotating assembly further comprising:
- a radiolucent marker (131) extending from a first end (132) to a second end (133) along at least a portion of a diameter (D) of the rotating assembly,
- a second radiolucent marker (231) coupled to the rotating assembly,
- first and second fiducial markers (134a;
- 134b) each disposed at opposite ends (S1;
- S2) of the collar device, and
- a laser source assembly (135) coupled to the rotating assembly and configured to project laser light (136) within a laser light plane (137).
