Disclosed is a digital X-ray image capturing device for easy mobility, including: a cassette having a built-in image plate; an image plate transfer device for taking the image plate out of the cassette and transferring the same to a scanning point; an image scanning device for scanning an X-ray latent image of the image plate by irradiating laser beams to the scanning point; an internal body including the image plate transfer device and the image scanning device; and an external housing surrounding the internal body. The image plate transfer device includes: a scan drum having a fastening means on a surface thereof, the fastening means being combined with an end of the image plate; at least one roller installed near the scan drum to closely wind the image plate on the surface of the scan drum; and an electric power means for applying torque to the scan drum. The slide mounting type or up-mounting type of cassette can be attached to the image plate transfer device.

Digital X-ray image capturing device

Provided is an apparatus for acquiring a digital X-ray image that radiates X-ray on a patient's part by using a high sensitivity imaging plate (IP), reads the radiated patient's part, acquires a signal including patient information and image information regarding a patient, converts the signal into a digital signal, and links the digital signal to external equipment.

Apparatus for acquiring digital X-ray image

An apparatus for optical sensing of samples includes an optical source, an optical assembly being rotatable about an axis, a sample holder, and a detector. The optical assembly rotates, allowing the sensing apparatus to sense results from plural locations on a sample without moving the sample. Moving the sample in a linear direction while rotating the optical assembly allows sensing of an entire sample containing multiple test sites, such as a biochip. An optical assembly containing mirrors to direct light from the optical source to the sample is provided. Preferably, light enters the optical assembly along the axis of rotation. Sensing methods consistent with the invention are also described.

Sensing apparatus having rotating optical assembly

An apparatus for optical sensing of samples includes an optical source, an optical assembly, a sample holder, an objective lens, and a detector. The objective lens collimates light emitted by the sample. Preferably, the optical assembly rotates about an axis, allowing the sensing apparatus to sense results from plural locations on a sample without moving the sample. Moving the sample in a linear direction while rotating the optical assembly allows sensing of an entire sample. Preferably, light from the optical source enters the optical assembly along the axis of rotation. Sensing methods consistent with the invention are also described.
