  • System and method for imaging biopsy samples obtained from a patient
    Patent number: 10827989
    Abstract: A system for imaging biopsy samples obtained from a patient includes: a radiation source; a radiation detector having a surface that defines a first imaging region, a second imaging region, and a third imaging region; and a collimator having a body defining an opening and selectively adjustable between a first imaging position and a second imaging position. The first imaging position allows radiation rays to pass from the radiation source, through the opening, and into the second imaging region while restricting the radiation rays from passing into the first imaging region when the radiation source is in a first scanning position. The second imaging position allows radiation rays to pass from the radiation source, through the opening, and into the third imaging region while restricting the radiation rays from passing into the first imaging region when the radiation source is in a second scanning position.
