  • Portable digital image detector positioning apparatus
    Patent number: 8941070
    Abstract: An imaging system is provided. In one embodiment, an imaging system includes a radiation source and a digital detector. The imaging system may also include first and second structures, each configured to receive the digital detector. Further, the imaging system may include system control circuitry configured to control exposure of the digital detector by the radiation source and to acquire image data from the digital detector. Additionally, the digital detector may be configured to communicate its location to the system control circuitry based on receipt of the digital detector by the first or second receiving structures. Additional systems, methods, and devices are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2008
    Date of Patent: January 27, 2015
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Scott W. Petrick, Alan D. Blomeyer, James Z. Liu, Emad Abu Tabanjeh

  • Automatic detector selection by study type
    Patent number: 7343001
    Abstract: Methods of using an X-ray system having a central computer system, an X-ray source and a bank of wireless detectors. The methods include an automated X-ray system that requires the input of a type of X-ray to be performed on a patient, and the systems determine and identify which detector from the detector bank is appropriate for the ordered test.
