摘要： A neural network prediction has been provided for predicting radiation exposure and/or Air-Kerma at a predefined arbitrary distance during an x-ray exposure; and for predicting radiation exposure and/or Air-Kerma area product for a radiographic x-ray exposure. The Air-Kerma levels are predicted directly from the x-ray exposure parameters. The method or model is provided to predict the radiation exposure or Air-Kerma for an arbitrary radiographic x-ray exposure by providing input variables to identify the spectral characteristics of the x-ray beam, providing a neural net which has been trained to calculate the exposure or Air-Kerma value, and by scaling the neural net output by the calibrated tube efficiency, and the actual current through the x-ray tube and the duration of the exposure. The prediction for exposure/Air-Kerma further applies the actual source-to-object distance, and the prediction for exposure/Air-Kerma area product further applies the actual imaged field area at a source-to-image distance.

摘要： A digital radiographic imaging system is described which includes an automatic X-ray exposure sequence during which two consecutive images of a target are obtained from two views separated by a translation of the X-ray emitter, wherein such translation is oriented generally parallel to the plane of the X-ray detector. The two images acquired by the digital X-ray detector may then be combined using stereo reconstruction to generate a three-dimensional image of the interior of the target. The three-dimensional combination of images allows for better radiographic definition of clinical objects of interest, thereby increasing a radiologist's ability to detect and distinguish between normal and pathological structures.

摘要： A discrete pixel image is enhanced to bring out particular features of interest such as edges. The enhancement includes decomposition of the original processed image data, enhancement by application of gain images to the decomposed images, and reconstruction of the enhanced image. The decomposition proceeds through a series of low-pass filters to arrive at decomposed images of progressively lower spatial frequencies. These decomposed images are then multiplied by gain images during the enhancement phase. Gain images for at least the higher spatial frequency level images are derived from lower spatial frequency level images. These spatial frequency-based gain images may be based upon operator inputs, including a spatial sensitivity function and an edge enhancement value. Lower spatial frequency level images may be processed by application of predetermined gain values. The reconstruction sequence recombines the decomposed images after application of the gains to arrive at an enhanced image of the same dimensions as the original image.
摘要翻译：离散像素图像被增强以产生诸如边缘的特定的感兴趣的特征。该增强包括原始处理的图像数据的分解，通过对分解的图像应用增益图像的增强以及增强图像的重建。分解通过一系列低通滤波器进行，以得到逐渐降低的空间频率的分解图像。然后在增强阶段将这些分解图像乘以增益图像。至少较高的空间频率水平图像的增益图像从较低的空间频率水平图像导出。这些基于空间频率的增益图像可以基于操作者输入，包括空间灵敏度函数和边缘增强值。可以通过应用预定增益值来处理较低空间频率电平图像。重建序列在施加增益之后重组分解的图像，以获得与原始图像相同尺寸的增强图像。

摘要： Disclosed herein is a radiographic imaging system which performs system performance monitoring by (1) using automatic exposure control (AEC) components to predict the average image gray level; (2) obtaining measured average image gray levels from the portions of the X-ray detector situated in the X-ray shadow of the AEC components; and then (3) comparing the predicted and measured values. The predicted values are determined by use of a prediction model which is modified by a learning system over successive exposures to provide more accurate predictions. After the learning system has sufficiently developed the prediction model, the error between the predicted and measured gray level values may be monitored in later exposures and an error routine can be activated if the error exceeds a predetermined threshold. In this case, the error may indicate that system components in the imaging chain (e.g., the detector or AEC components) require maintenance.
摘要翻译：本文公开了一种射线成像系统，其通过（1）使用自动曝光控制（AEC）分量来预测平均图像灰度级来执行系统性能监视; （2）从位于AEC组件的X射线阴影中的X射线检测器的部分获得测量的平均图像灰度; 然后（3）比较预测值和测量值。预测值通过使用由学习系统对连续曝光进行修改以提供更准确的预测的预测模型来确定。在学习系统充分发展了预测模型之后，可以在稍后的曝光中监视预测和测量的灰度值之间的误差，并且如果误差超过预定阈值，则可以激活错误例程。在这种情况下，错误可能表明成像链中的系统组件（例如，检测器或AEC组件）需要维护。

摘要： Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some embodiments the line time of an X-Ray detector is dynamically selected so as to nullify an aliased interference signal. The frequency of a noise signal generated by a source external to the digital X-ray detector is determined and, based on the determined frequency, the line time of the digital X-ray is adjusted so as to compensate for the interfering noise. The frequency of the noise can be directly determined from an electromagnetic interference (EMI) sensor or derived through analysis of the power spectrum of the noise signal.
