  • Systems and methods for calibrating, correcting and processing images on a radiographic detector
    Patent number: 11540803
    Abstract: A radiographic imaging system includes a radiographic detector having a scanning device to obtain patient identifying information. The detector is programmed to display the patient identifying information in human readable form and to access additional information about the patient stored in networked databases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 3, 2023
    Assignee: Carestream Health, Inc.
    Inventors: Michael C. Lalena, Michael S. Means

  • Systems and methods for calibrating, correcting and processing images on a radiographic detector
    Patent number: 10285663
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods and/or apparatus for a radiographic imaging system can include a radiographic detector including an image receptor to receive incident radiation and generate uncorrected electronic image data; a storage device to store calibration data at the detector, and a processor to generate calibration-corrected image data from the uncorrected electronic image data and the calibration data. The calibration-corrected image data can be further processed by the processor to perform image processing before transmitting a corrected image (e.g., DICOM image) to the radiographic imaging system. The detector can further include a display to display imaging system controls or the corrected image.
