A multidiagnostic rectilinear scanner for conducting non-invasive diagnostic procedures of bodily tissue. Both transmission and emission studies are performed on a single scanner utilizing software modules for each kind of study. Dual energy x-ray and radioactive sources are used to perform radiographic and absorptiometry transmission measurements. A system and method of identifying regions of interest within tissue being scanned and recording the location of those regions provides an additional diagnostic capability.

Scanning x-ray imaging system with rotating C-arm

An apparatus employing radiation for measuring bone density in which the bone can be scanned from different angles. The multidirectional scanning is accomplished by rotating the radiation source and detector about the stationary object being irradiated.

System for radiologically scanning the spine for measuring bone density

Scanning x-ray imaging system with rotating c-arm

A method of scanning the spine of a patient in which radiation is directed through the spine from a source and received by a detector to measure bone density of the spine. Multidirectional scanning is accomplished by rotating the radiation source and detector about the spine of the patient being scanned to provide both A-P and lateral scanning for imaging and bone density measurements.
