  • Publication number: 20240390700
    Abstract: A system according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes: an imaging source; an imaging detector; a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing data thereon that, when executed by the processor, enable the processor to: initiate a multi-dimensional scan of patient anatomy that includes the imaging source emitting a radiation beam that is received by the imaging detector; receive radiation beam information associated with the radiation beam received by the imaging detector; compare the radiation beam information to a beam threshold value; and instruct, based on the comparing, the imaging source to adjust at least one beam parameter of the radiation beam such that the radiation beam information is compliant with the beam threshold value.

  • Patent number: 12064193
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed that allow for generation of a model or reconstruction of a model of a subject based upon acquired image data. The image data can be acquired in a substantially mobile system that can be moved relative to a subject to allow for image acquisition from a plurality of orientations relative to the subject. The plurality of orientations can include a first and final orientation and a predetermined path along which an image data collector or detector can move to acquire an appropriate image data set to allow for the model of construction.

  • Publication number: 20240260914
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system having a detector able to move relative to the subject. A contrast agent can be injected into the subject and image data can be acquired with the contrast agent in various phases of the subject. A volumetric model of multiple phases can be reconstructed selected reconstruction techniques.
