Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods obtain first imaging data and first timestamps that correspond to the first imaging data; obtain second imaging data and second timestamps that correspond to the second imaging data; demodulate the first imaging data to acquire a first timing signal; demodulate the second imaging data to acquire a second timing signal; and calculate a delay value based on the first timing signal, the second timing signal, the first timestamps, and the second timestamps.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- one or more computer-readable media storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors that are in communication with the one or more computer-readable media and that, when executing the instructions, cooperate with the one or more computer-readable media to cause the device to perform operations that comprise:
- obtaining first imaging data and first timestamps that correspond to the first imaging data;
- obtaining second imaging data and second timestamps that correspond to the second imaging data;
- demodulating the first imaging data to acquire a first timing signal;
- demodulating the second imaging data to acquire a second timing signal;
- and
- calculating a delay value based on the first timing signal, the second timing signal, the first timestamps, and the second timestamps.

A system comprising:
- a light source;
- a shutter;
- one or more computer-readable media storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors that are in communication with the one or more computer-readable media and that, when executing the instructions, cooperate with the one or more computer-readable media to cause the system to perform operations that comprise:
- controlling the light source to emit light such that the light encodes a first transmitted timing signal;
- and
- controlling the shutter such that X-rays that travel through the shutter encode a second transmitted timing signal.
