  • Computed tomography thermal management system and method for operation of said system
    Patent number: 11805620
    Abstract: A thermal management system and method for cooling a CT detector assembly of a CT imaging system. The thermal management system uses a combination of air cooling for the readout electronics of the CT detector assembly and liquid cooling for the X-ray sensors of the CT detector assembly. The hybrid air and liquid cooling systems and methods may be coupled together in the thermal management system and method to create a cooler temperature in the CT detector assembly. The CT detector assembly components may include CT detector modules, which may include X-ray sensors, readout electronics and other components.

  • System and method for image reconstruction user interface
    Patent number: 9710918
    Abstract: A system and method for an image reconstruction user interface is provided. An imaging system may be used to scan a subject and provide reconstructed images of the subject. Reconstructed images may be output to a display, printer, network, and/or memory storage device. To view information and select options for image reconstruction, a visualization system and method is utilized.

  • Method and apparatus for determining a subjects orientation
    Patent number: 8737705
    Abstract: A method for determining a subject's orientation includes receiving, at an imaging system, an input that indicates an orientation of a subject being imaged, automatically determining the orientation of the subject using a feature recognition system, comparing the received input to the automatically determined orientation, and generating an image, the image including orientation indicia based on the comparison. An object orientation recognition system and an imaging system are also described herein.
