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.

Abstract: A distributed resistance material level sensor which is sensitive to actuation pressure of the material in which the sensor is immersed, and ruggedized to provide protection of the sensor by forces encountered during handling and during use. The sensor includes an elongated strip having sensitive front and back surfaces and respective insensitive edges extending along the length of the sensor. An elongated protective element is provided on each edge of the sensor, the element being retained on a respective insensitive edge and having a cross-sectional extent to provide mechanical contact and abrasion protection.
