  • Patent number: 8180127
    Abstract: In a method and system to prepare medical 2D or 3D data, in particular 2D or 3D image data acquired by means of computed tomography, a data set composed of medical 2D or 3D data is segmented with predeterminable first segmentation parameters, so a first data set with segmented data and a second data set with data complementary to the first data set are generated and stored. Predeterminable color or grey value tables (known as presets) are provided that respectively associate colors or grey values with individual data value ranges. Respective presets are automatically associated with the first data set and the second data set. At an output unit, at least one slice or volume image of the first and/or second data set is presented as a resulting image/resulting images in colors/grey scales according to the associated presets.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5982848
    Abstract: An X-ray diagnosis machine having an X-ray source (3) and a recording device with a photo-timer which has at least one measurement field (2) in a radiation detector plane (1) essentially parallel to the image plane. The measurement field is mounted so as to be capable of being displaced in the radiation detector plane.

  • Patent number: 5940470
    Abstract: A medical X-ray system having a radiation source (5) and a radiation receiver (6) which receives radiation emitted by the source. The two components are arranged on a common support (7), the radiation receiver being mounted on the support in such a way that it can be detached and mounted to at least one further system component (11), in particular a wall bucky.
