Abstract
A system for imaging an object via pre-shot processing is provided. The system includes an imaging device operative to image the object, and a controller in electronic communication with the imaging device. The controller is operative to acquire at least one pre-shot image of the object via the imaging device; and to generate, based at least in part on the at least one pre-shot image, an indicator that corresponds to a likelihood that one or more diagnostic images of the object acquired via the imaging device will be medically deficient.
Claims22
A system for imaging an object via pre-shot processing, the system comprising:
- an imaging device operative to image the object;
- a controller in electronic communication with the imaging device and operative to:
- acquire at least one pre-shot image of the object via the imaging device;
- and
- generate, based at least in part on the at least one pre-shot image, an indicator that corresponds to a likelihood that one or more diagnostic images of the object acquired via the imaging device will be medically deficient.
A method for imaging an object via pre-shot processing, the method comprising:
- acquiring at least one pre-shot image of the object via an imaging device;
- and
- generating, via a controller and based at least in part on the at least one pre-shot image, an indicator that corresponds to a likelihood that one or more diagnostic images of the object acquired via the imaging device will be medically deficient.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that adapt a controller to:
- acquire at least one pre-shot image of an object via an imaging device;
- and
- generate, based at least in part on the at least one pre-shot image, an indicator that corresponds to the likelihood that one or more diagnostic images of the object acquired via the imaging device will be medically deficient.
A system for imaging an object via pre-shot processing, the system comprising:
- an imaging device operative to image the object;
- a controller in electronic communication with the imaging device and operative to:
- acquire the at least one pre-shot image using a first energy spectrum;
- acquire one or more diagnostic images via the imaging device using a second energy spectrum lower than the first energy spectrum;
- and
- generate a material-equivalent image based at least in part on the at least one pre-shot image and the one or more diagnostic images.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that adapt a controller to:
- acquire at least one pre-shot image via an imaging device using a first energy spectrum;
- acquire one or more diagnostic images via the imaging device using a second energy spectrum lower than the first energy spectrum;
- and
- generate a material-equivalent image based at least in part on the at least one pre-shot image and the one or more diagnostic images.
