  • Patient support structure having a tabletop with a breast positioning aperture for a laser imaging apparatus
    Patent number: 7254851
    Abstract: A patient support structure for a laser imaging apparatus, comprises a tabletop to support a female patient in front-down, prone position. The tabletop includes an opening adapted to permit a breast of the patient to be vertically pendant below the tabletop. The opening is non-symmetric with respect to an axis of rotation of a scanning mechanism disposed below the tabletop.

  • Folded optics in a laser imaging apparatus with an ergonometric tabletop
    Publication number: 20040220479
    Abstract: A scanner for a laser imaging apparatus comprises a tabletop having an opening in which a breast to be scanned is disposed; a reflector ring disposed around the opening below the tabletop, the ring having a reflective surface facing the opening and disposed at an angle downwardly away from the opening; a laser beam directed upwardly below the tabletop toward the reflective surface such that the beam is reflected across the opening toward an opposite portion of the reflective surface, the beam going across the opening defining a slice plane; a plurality of collimators including vertical channels directed toward the reflective surface such that light exiting from the breast within the field of view of the collimators is reflected by the reflective surface down through the vertical channels; a plurality of optical detectors, each detector being disposed below the respective vertical channels.
