  • Publication number: 20220245715
    Abstract: A method of overlaying two images, comprising retrieving an image of a first object; generating an image mask; receiving an input to position the image mask over the image of the first object; receiving a first dimension of the first object; receiving a selection of characteristics of a second object; receiving an image of the second object having the selected characteristics, wherein the received image has been cropped according to the first dimension of the first object; and overlaying the cropped image of the second object on the image of first object at the position of the image mask.

  • Patent number: 10335104
    Abstract: A multi energy, such as dual-energy (“DE”), x-ray imaging system data acquisition and image reconstruction system and method enables optimizing the image contrast of a sample. Using the DE x-ray imaging system and its associated user interface applications, an operator performs a low energy (“LE”) and high energy (“HE”) x-ray scan of the same volume of interest of the sample. The system creates a low-energy reconstructed tomographic volume data set from the set of low-energy projections and a high-energy tomographic volume data set from the set of high-energy projections. This enables the operator to control the image contrast of selected slices, and apply the information associated with optimizing the contrast of the selected slice to all slices in the low-energy and high-energy tomographic data sets. This creates a combined volume data set from the LE and HE volume data sets with optimized image contrast throughout.
