  • Publication number: 20210059793
    Abstract: An intraoral scanner and computing system for capturing images and generating three-dimensional models. The intraoral scanner includes a handle, a mouthpiece extending from the handle, a flood illuminator projecting light from the mouthpiece, a structured light projector projecting a light pattern from the mouthpiece, and stereo camera capturing images through the mouthpiece. An optimal image of each of different materials within the captured images are combined to create a high dynamic range image. The structured light pattern in the high dynamic range image is used to determine three-dimensional measurements and create a three-dimensional model.

  • Publication number: 20140166886
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a computed radiography system, comprising a stimulating light source, a imaging plate (IP) positioned such that the stimulating light impinges the IP perpendicularly thereto producing photostimulated luminescence light (PLL) having a wave length different from said stimulating light source, a light collector having a bundle of optical fibers for collecting and transferring PLL emitted from the IP, the bundle providing with a liner end proximate to the IP and a two-dimensional end far away from the IP in which a plurality of optical fibers are arranged according to a constant rule, an optical filter in communication with said light collector for blocking stimulating light waves and passing PLL therethrough, a light detector for receiving PLL from the two-dimensional end of the bundle of the light collector.

  • Patent number: 8393788
    Abstract: Disclosed is a digital X-ray image capturing device for easy mobility, including: a cassette having a built-in image plate; an image plate transfer device for taking the image plate out of the cassette and transferring the same to a scanning point; an image scanning device for scanning an X-ray latent image of the image plate by irradiating laser beams to the scanning point; an internal body including the image plate transfer device and the image scanning device; and an external housing surrounding the internal body. The image plate transfer device includes: a scan drum having a fastening means on a surface thereof, the fastening means being combined with an end of the image plate; at least one roller installed near the scan drum to closely wind the image plate on the surface of the scan drum; and an electric power means for applying torque to the scan drum. The slide mounting type or up-mounting type of cassette can be attached to the image plate transfer device.
