Portable x-ray system

Abstract

A system for x-ray imaging includes a source module comprising an x-ray source, a high voltage power source for running the x-ray source for pulse-based operation, a system of x-ray opaque leaves that can be moved independently to provide an aperture for x-rays produced by the x-ray source, an optical camera system capable of accurately determining the orientation and distance of a device of know size with a known layout of markers, a detector module separate from the source module and comprising an electronic x-ray detector that produces x-ray image data from x-rays produced by the x-ray source, a computing system capable of processing the x-ray image data from the x-ray detector to produce images, a computer screen capable of displaying the images produced by the portable computer system with high dynamic range, a communication connection between at least the source module and the detector module.
