Various methods and systems are provided for x-ray imaging. In one embodiment, a method for an image pasting examination comprises acquiring, via an optical camera and/or depth camera, image data of a subject, controlling an x-ray source and an x-ray detector according to the image data to acquire a plurality of x-ray images of the subject, and stitching the plurality of x-ray images into a single x-ray image. In this way, optimal exposure techniques may be used for individual acquisitions in an image pasting examination such that the optimal dose is utilized, stitching quality is improved, and registration failures are avoided.

Method and systems for camera-aided x-ray imaging

A method of calibrating a system for imaging a subject is provided. The method includes determining a position of an X-ray source of the system operative to transmit X-rays through the subject; and calibrating the position of the X-ray source with respect to a detector of the system, based at least in part on a field of view of the X-ray source, the detector operative to receive the X-rays transmitted by the X-ray source. In embodiments, the method includes positioning an X-ray source of the system via a controller at one or more calibration positions based at least in part on at least one camera of the system. In such embodiments the X-ray source is disposed on a mobile arm and operative to transmit X-rays through the subject, and a field of view of the X-ray source is directed substantially towards the detector at each of the calibration positions.

System and method for calibrating an imaging system

A system and a method are provided that may be used to determine the suitability of a client for use in medical diagnosis. Multimedia content may be presented on the client and used to elicit responses from a user indicative of the suitability of the client for use in medical diagnosis. The elicited responses may be used to determine the suitability of the client for medical diagnosis.

Method and system for checking the diagnostic quality of a medical system

In one embodiment, a method to reduce the radiation dose delivered by an imaging system is provided. The method comprises steps of selecting a virtual mask representation based on the shape of an organ to be masked, displaying the virtual mask representation on a scout image and manipulating radiation dose to be delivered so as to modify the virtual mask representation to obtain an optimum attenuation profile.
