摘要： Variations in x-ray beam, filtration and detector gain characteristics are corrected by a multiple thickness flattening system. Preferably, an automatic multi-position attenuator mechanism inserts into the x-ray beam one or more flat reference attenuators of uniform composition. Thereafter, the response at each detector channel is measured. Unique factors are thus collected for each channel at multiple attenuation levels. An overall uniform response across the scan field is achieved by applying these correction factors to subsequent scan data. The current system compensates for detector gain by alternately turning X-rays on and off, so that dark level measurements can be interspersed with X-ray signal measurements. Detector offsets are eliminated in a linear data representation, while beam and detector flattening corrections are applied in a logarithmic data representation.

摘要： A method of calibrating an ultrasound bone analysis apparatus having a pair of transducer assemblies. Each transducer assembly has a transducer and a coupling pad, and is movable relative to the other so that a face of each pad can be moved to a position in which they mutually contact and to a position where the faces contact body parts. The method according to the present application includes transmitting an ultrasound signal from one transducer and receiving a signal corresponding to the transmitted ultrasound signal through the other transducer when the transducer assemblies are in the first position and the second position. A time for the ultrasound signal to pass through the body part is determined, and a width of the body part based on positions of the transducers is determined. Then, using the time and width values a speed of sound of the ultrasound signal passing through the body part with squish compensation is calculated.

摘要： A whole body x-ray bone densitometry system includes a table extending parallel to a Y-axis of an XYZ coordinate system for supporting a patient at a patient position; an x-ray source for emitting a narrow angle fan beam of x-rays to irradiate at any one time a scan line which is transverse to the Y-axis and is substantially shorter than the width of a body cross-section of a typical adult patient occupying the patient position. An x-ray detector is aligned with the source along a source-detector axis which is transverse to the Y-axis, for receiving x-rays from the source within the angle of the fan beam after passage thereof through the patient position. The detector has a number of detecting elements arranged along a direction transverse to the Y-axis and to the source-detector axis. A source-detector support on which the source and detector are mounted at opposite sides of the patient position is coupled with a scanning mechanism moving at least one of the patient table and the source-detector support relative to the other to scan the patient position with the narrow angle fan beam in successive scans parallel to the Y-axis in which the source-detector axis is at different angles relative to the patient position as between different ones of successive scans, but in each of the successive scans, an origin of the fan beam in the source is at the same vertical distance from the patient table. The distance between the fan beam origin and the table may be selectively varied between scan passes, in order to vary scan pass magnification.
