Abstract: In some embodiments, in connection with a user input of a user, a set of selective parameters to be configured by the user for a structured data query may be determined. As an example, the set of selective parameters may be a first set of selective parameters for the structured data query in response to the set of permissions being a first set of permissions. As another example, the set of selective parameters may be a second set of selective parameters different from the first set of selective parameters in response to the set of permissions being a second set of permissions. One or more input fields for configuring one or more selective parameters of the set of selective parameters may be generated for display, and an executable data query may be generated based on configuration information (related to the selective parameters) that is obtained via the input fields.

Abstract: Methods and system for measuring visceral fat mass are provided. One method includes acquiring dual-energy two-dimensional (2D) scan information from a dual-energy X-ray scan of a body and generating a dual-energy X-ray image of the body using the 2D scan information. The method further includes identifying a region of interest using the dual-energy X-ray image and determining a subcutaneous fat mass for each of a plurality of sections of the region of interest. The method also includes determining a visceral fat mass for the region of interest based on the determined subcutaneous fat mass for each of the plurality of sections.

Abstract: A system and method for performing skeletal age assessment is provided. The method includes scanning a hand and/or wrist of a patient using a dual-energy x-ray imaging system, acquiring density information of the hand and wrist using the scan, comparing the density information to at least one reference image, and automatically determining a skeletal age of the patient based on the comparison.

Abstract: A scanning bone densitometer includes an x-ray source to produce x-rays and an x-ray detector receiving x-rays emitted from the x-ray source. The x-ray detector includes a cadmium tellurium (CdTe) semiconductor. The scanning bone densitometer also includes a controller moving the x-ray source and the x-ray detector along a transverse scanning path to acquire a plurality of scan images of an object of interest.

Abstract: A dual energy x-ray densitometer is incorporated into a standard patient examination table to provide improved access to this screening tool during regular examinations. A repositionable scanning head allows the table to remain unobstructed when scanning is not occurring and a limited scanning area allows the examination table to retain standard examination table features such as table extensions, foot end drawers, trays and stirrups, and a step for access to the high examination table surface.

Abstract: An x-ray densitometry system provides improved analysis of bone images taken of a patient over a course of time by comparing the images to deduce positioning errors and/or to correct positioning errors for improved quantitative assessment of the bone.
