  • Patent number: 9767558
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring rotation parameters of a spine on medical images. The method comprises: selecting a reference image and a movement image from the medical images; determining a lower spine image and an upper spine image in the reference image, and determining a lower spine image and an upper spine image in the movement image; registering the lower spine image in the movement image with the lower spine image in the reference image; correcting the upper spine image in the movement image according to output parameters of registration of the lower spine images; superposing the upper spine image in the reference image with the corrected upper spine image in the movement image to obtain a superposed image; and calculating to obtain the rotation parameters according to a position difference between the upper spine image in the reference image and the upper spine image in the movement image on the superposed image.

  • Publication number: 20090128351
    Abstract: An X-ray system for preventing X-ray leakage includes a sensor that detects an open/close state of a door of a room, a wireless transmitter that receives the open/close state of the door from the sensor and sends it out in a wireless manner, an X-ray device that emits X-rays, and a wireless receiver, which is provided on the X-ray device, that receives the open/close state from the wireless transmitter and sends it to the X-ray device, wherein the X-ray device controls whether or not to emit X-rays based on the open/close state received from the wireless receiver.
