  • Method and apparatus for spectral adjustment in digital X-ray imaging
    Patent number: 11147529
    Abstract: A method and system for spectral adjustment for a digital X-ray imaging system. The method includes obtaining a set of initial digital X-ray images and then weight factoring the images to generate a set of weight factored digital X-ray images. The weight-factored digital X-ray images are then combined to generate a composite image that is spectrally distinct from the set of initial digital X-ray images.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 26, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 19, 2021
    Inventors: Karim S. Karim, Sebastian Lopez Maurino
  • System and method for a X-ray detector
    Patent number: 11123028
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed at a method and apparatus for a flat panel X-ray imaging detector. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes three (3) layers including a top layer, an intermediate layer and a bottom layer. The top layer generates a top layer image; the intermediate layer generates an intermediate layer image; and the bottom layer generates a bottom layer image. The intermediate layer also operates simultaneously as an intermediate X-ray energy filter.

  • Method and system for determining virtual outputs for a multi-energy x-ray imaging apparatus
    Patent number: 10856826
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed at a method and apparatus for determining virtual outputs for a multi-energy x-ray apparatus. Based on the application that the x-ray apparatus is being used for, a general algorithm can be determined or selected. Inputs received from the x-ray apparatus can be substituted into the general algorithm to generate a virtual output algorithm for the x-ray apparatus. Virtual outputs can then be calculated using the virtual output algorithm.
