  • Patent number: 11612367
    Abstract: A digital radiographic detector system includes a number of DR detectors enclosed by a housing. A base section with wheels has attached thereto a vertical column with a height adjustable horizontal arm extending therefrom. The housing with DR detectors therein is attached to a distal end of the horizontal arm. The housing comprises a major surface made from a radiolucent material to allow the detectors to capture radiographic images via x-rays transmitted through the major surface of the housing. The housing is configured to support the plurality of DR detectors therewithin.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11553891
    Abstract: A digital radiographic image of a subject is captured using a reduced exposure level of an x-ray source. One or more exposure control regions in the image is mapped and associated with a predetermined exposure level. A difference between the predetermined exposure level setting and the reduced exposure level is used to set a diagnostic exposure level perhaps about twice as high as the reduced exposure level to capture a diagnostic image of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20200359979
    Abstract: A method of operating a digital radiographic imaging system includes capturing a digital radiographic image of a subject anatomy and automatically placing a digital anatomical marker therein. The radiographic image is displayed to an operator, the operator confirming a position of the automatically placed digital anatomical marker by storing the radiographic image or by repositioning the marker and storing the radiographic image.
