Abstract: A system for collecting a biopsy of a lesion within a patient using examination images previously collected from an examination device. An x-ray detector detects energy after passing through the patient. A compression paddle compresses the patient. A processing system generates a biopsy image based on the energy detected by the x-ray detector, accesses the examination images previously collected, and analyzes, while the patient remains compressed, the biopsy image to determine a measured x-coordinate and a measured y-coordinate of the lesion along X and Y axes, respectively. The examination images are analyzed to determine a calculated z-coordinate of the lesion along the Z axis. The location of the lesion along the X, Y, and Z axes is determined based on the measured x-coordinate and measured y-coordinate from the biopsy image and the calculated z-coordinate from examination images. The biopsy may be performed while the patient remains compressed.

Abstract: A multi-fluid injector system and methods of operation thereof are presented. One embodiment of such a fluid injector system includes an automatic refill procedure for a fluid injector system comprising a fluid injector and an operably engaged syringe. The procedure includes the step of determining, using an electronic control device operably controlling the fluid injector system, whether a fluid injection procedure involving the syringe is impending. If the electronic control device determines that the fluid injection procedure is not impending, such that the automatic refill will not interfere with the fluid injection procedure, an automatic refill of the syringe is initiated.

Abstract: A universal chemical processor (UCP) including a reactor vessel with a main chamber, comprises inlets for feedstock, a fluidizing medium and reactants. The UCP further includes a reactive X-ray chemical processor (RXCP) having a large area hollow cylindrical cold cathode in the main chamber, a grid positioned concentrically with respect to the cathode, and an anode positioned concentrically with respect to the cathode and grid. In operation, when activated, the cathode of the RXCP emits electrodes onto the anode, which then emits X-rays into a radiation zone within the main chamber capable of ionizing feedstock and reactants, inducing chemical reactions, and sterilizing and decomposing organic materials within the radiation zone, and wherein, a fluidized bed is supported in the main chamber when the fluidizing medium and feedstock are supplied. The RXCP and the fluidized bed portions can be operated separately or in conjunction to achieve unanticipated results.
