  • Scanning x-ray imaging system with rotating C-arm
    Patent number: 6640123
    Abstract: A multidiagnostic rectilinear scanner for conducting non-invasive diagnostic procedures of bodily tissue. Both transmission and emission studies are performed on a single scanner utilizing software modules for each kind of study. Dual energy x-ray and radioactive sources are used to perform radiographic and absorptiometry transmission measurements. A system and method of identifying regions of interest within tissue being scanned and recording the location of those regions provides an additional diagnostic capability.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1995
    Date of Patent: October 28, 2003
    Assignee: Hologic Inc.
    Inventors: James R. Warne, Alvin Karloff, Edward J. Botz, Michael D. Dabrowski

  • Method of scanning the spine of a patient to determine bone density along two different axes
    Patent number: 5572998
    Abstract: A method of scanning the spine of a patient in which radiation is directed through the spine from a source and received by a detector to measure bone density of the spine. Multidirectional scanning is accomplished by rotating the radiation source and detector about the spine of the patient being scanned to provide both A-P and lateral scanning for imaging and bone density measurements.
