## Abstract

A cabinet x-ray incorporates an x-ray tube, an x-ray detector, and a real-time camera, either High Definition or Standard Resolution, for the production of organic and non-organic images. The computing device receives video data from the real-time camera and the x-ray detector and determines, based on the video data, an overlay of the captured x-ray image with the captured real-time image or display images adjacently i.e. Picture-In-Picture (PIP). The apparatus captures a real-time image simultaneously with the x-ray image allowing a cabinet x-ray unit to attain and optimize images with exact orientation of the 2 images.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cabinet x-ray system incorporating a real-time camera, comprising:
a computer;
a base unit including an image processor and a display;
an imaging chain incorporated into the base unit, including:
an x-ray source with an x-ray detector;
a scanner including the real time camera configured to capture a three dimensional image of a specimen concurrently with an acquisition of an x-ray image, wherein the computer is configured to:
control a first motor and a second motor to move the real-time camera in a substantially rectangular path;
rotate the camera about at least one of a first axis extending in a first direction or a second axis extending in a second direction; and
rotate the camera about the second axis while the camera is moving in the first direction;
an interface for enabling a signal to be transferred from the real-time camera to the computer, and
a laser for constructing a 3-dimensional model of the specimen for which the three dimensional image and x-ray image are acquired.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system as defined in claim 1, in which the real-time camera is configured to supply standard or High-Definition (HD) real-time images.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, in which the cabinet x-ray system concurrently captures an x-ray image and a real-time image.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, in which the real-time camera is mounted onto the system such that the x-ray image and real-time image are captured at a specific orientation.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, in which the base unit is enclosed in the cabinet x-ray system.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, in which the base unit is utilized for excised tissue, organ or bone specimens.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, in which the base unit is utilized for any specimen that fits inside the x-ray cabinet.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 in which the scanner is mounted in the cabinet x-ray system.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 in which the real-time image is displayed overlaid onto the x-ray image or adjacent to the x-ray image.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1 in which the imaging chain is composed of sources emitting at differing frequencies.
