A counterbalanced imaging device is provided and includes an imaging source and an imaging detector. The counterbalanced imaging device also includes a gantry ring that physically supports the imaging source and the imaging detector. The gantry ring also enables the imaging source and the imaging detector to simultaneously rotate about a center of rotation. The gantry ring may also comprise a detachable segment having one or more counterbalance measures contained therein to align a center of gravity of the gantry ring with the center of rotation when the detachable segment is mounted onto the gantry ring.

Counterbalanced imaging device

An imaging system is disclosed. The imaging system is operable to acquire and/or generate image data at positions relative to a subject. The imaging system includes a drive system configured to move the imaging system.

System and method for mobile imaging

A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system using various selection techniques. The selection techniques may be used to assist in generating selected images for viewing. Selection techniques may include moving a filter to filter a selected portion of an imaging beam.

Filter system and method for imaging a subject

A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system with at least two different energy characteristics. The image data can be reconstructed using reconstruction techniques.

An imaging device for obtaining 360-degree images of an anatomical feature of a patient or of another object includes an open ring having a first end, a second end, and an axis, the open ring defining an outer arc and an inner arc; a support arm configured to support the open ring and to rotate the open ring about the axis; a track extending along the open ring; a source movably disposed on the track and operable to generate signals useful for imaging; and a detector movably disposed on the track, the detector operable to detect signals generated by the source. Movement of the source and detector along the track, coupled with rotation of the open ring about the axis, enables the source and detector to travel at least 360 degrees about the axis.

G-shaped arm imaging devices, systems, and methods

A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system in a selected manner and/or motion. More than one projection may be combined to generate and create a selected view of the subject.

System and method for imaging a subject

An imaging system is disclosed to include an elongate member supported by a plurality of wheels, where the elongate member is extendable in a horizontal axis such that a distance between two of the plurality of wheels is increased when the elongate member is extended in the horizontal axis; a trolley slidably secured to the elongate member, where the trolley includes a base portion and an upper portion. The base portion moves in the horizontal axis along the elongate member and the upper portion is rotatably mounted to the base portion, where the upper portion is configured to rotate at least 90 degrees relative to the base portion and elongate member.

Line scanner imaging device, system, and methods

A transformable imaging system configured to operate in at least two configurations. A first configuration may be open and a second configuration may be closed. The closed configuration may allow for imaging in along an arc greater than 180 degrees.

Transformable imaging system

An imaging device for obtaining long-film images of an anatomical element of a patient or of another object includes a wheeled base comprising an elongate track; a trolley comprising a base portion slidably connected to the elongate track and an upper portion rotatably connected to the base portion, the trolley slidable along the elongate track a distance of at least 40 cm; a C-shaped arm defining a semi-circle about a C-shaped arm axis, the C-shaped arm rotatably supported by the upper portion of the trolley; a source fixedly secured to the C-shaped arm; and a detector fixedly secured to the C-shaped arm opposite the source.
