  • Publication number: 20130034208
    Abstract: A device and method for using X-rays to highlight soft-tissue parts in medical imaging are provided. The device may be implemented in radiotherapy equipment or used in radiotherapy. A control of the radiation dose needed for the therapy may involve phase-contrast imaging using X-rays to highlight soft-tissue parts. The result of the imaging by highlighting soft-tissue parts can be used for real-time and non-real-time planning of therapy and for adapting the treatment plan or the radiation dose. The radiation dose control may include anatomical imaging for locating tumours before, during and after irradiation and/or real-time adaptation of the treatment plan based on imaging that highlights soft-tissue parts. The positioning and arrangement of the combination of X-ray sources and detector in such a radiotherapy apparatus and of an accelerator may be independent of one another. The accelerator makes it possible to cover the entire body of the patient with X-rays.

  • Patent number: 7574371
    Abstract: A computerized medical diagnosis management system includes a central computer system comprising a data processor; at least one data interface operatively coupled to the data processor and configured to receive data from two or more diagnosis instruments, wherein each diagnosis instrument is configured for displaying measurement data and/or diagnosis data on a local monitor; an input unit operatively coupled to the data processor and configured to select a diagnosis instrument from the two or more diagnosis instruments and to generate a control code for the selected diagnosis instrument, when a control instruction is entered through the input unit; and a display unit operatively coupled to the data processor and configured to display the received data simultaneously or successively, wherein the data interface automatically forwards the control code to the selected diagnosis instrument. A method and a computer program product for using the system.
