Problems solved by technology

While some aspects of common alignment have been provided for tomographic images Tr and Tp and mammography M (see for example commonly owned US Patents 7,577,282 and 7,616,909), it is known that there is no common alignment for x-ray CT chest images, Especially if the Tr, Tp and M chest x-ray images are taken from the erect patient

Embodiment Construction

[0019] In the examples described and preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, specific terminology is employed for the sake of clarity. However, the disclosure of this patent specification is not intended to be limited to the specific terms chosen, and it should be understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner.

[0020] figure 1 and 2 Portions are shown of a non-limiting example of a multi-mode chest x-ray imaging system capable of operating in a CT mode but also configured to selectively operate in a mammography mode and including a wide-angle tomography mode and a narrow-angle Tomography mode operation in tomography mode. For clarity of illustration, patient shielding for CT mode is in figure 1 and 2 omitted in , but image 3 , 4 Examples are shown in , 10 and 11. The support column 100 is fixed to the floor and houses a motorized mechanism for raising and lowering a horizontally extending shaft 102 exten...

Abstract

The present invention relates to one or more of CT mode, narrow angle tomography mode, wide angle tomography mode and mammography mode by x-ray on one or more chest compressions or immobilization using substantially the same equipment A multimodal system and method for imaging a patient's chest.

Description

technical field [0001] This patent specification relates to chest x-ray imaging, and more particularly, to a system for imaging in CT mode, one or more tomography modes (such as narrow angle chest tomography and wide angle chest tomography) And one or more of the mammography modes selectively image the erect patient's chest. The system is preferably integrated such that the device can be used for any one or more of these imaging modalities. The patient can stand, as usual for mammography and tomography, rather than lying down as in conventional CT. In CT mode, when a conventional CT system is used to image the chest, the imaging x-ray beam passes only through the chest, not the patient's torso. Background technique [0002] X-ray mammography has emerged as a form of imaging for breast cancer and other lesions, and is also used for diagnostic and other purposes. Historically, chest images were recorded on x-ray film, but in recent years digital x-ray image receivers have b...
