Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system for coordinating a radiological imaging subsystem with a component including: a first communication device located on the radiological imaging subsystem; and a second communication device located on the component, wherein the first and second communication devices are capable of communicating to indicate a positional relationship between the radiological imaging subsystem and the component. In an embodiment, the component includes an imaging table. In an embodiment, at least one range of motion of the radiological imaging system is determinable based at least in part on the communicating to indicate a positional relationship. In an embodiment, the at least one range of motion of the radiological imaging system includes at least one range of motion of a gantry.

Coordination of radiological imaging subsystems and components

A system for reconstructing an image of an object includes a mobile imaging system, and a user removable module configured to be attached to the mobile imaging system.

Methods and apparatus for mobile imaging systems

A medical imaging system comprises a C-arm unit having an x-ray source for generating x-rays and a receptor for obtaining image exposures from received x-rays. The C-arm unit moves the x-ray source and receptor along an image acquisition path between at least first and second exposure positions. The C-arm unit rotates about a central axis. Source and receptor brackets mount the x-ray source and receptor, respectively, to the C-arm unit. The source and receptor brackets move at least one of the x-ray source and receptor in a radial direction toward and away from the central axis of the C-arm unit to maintain a desired distance between the patient and the x-ray source and receptor. An image processor collects a series of image exposures from the receptor and constructs a three dimensional volumetric data set which is displayed on a display.
