Embodiment Construction

[0022] This application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 504,790 filed on May 11, 2017 in the name of Scott et al. and labeled "SOFTWARESYNCHRONIZATION FOR BEDSIDE DYNAMIC IMAGING", which application is incorporated herein by reference with The whole is incorporated here.

[0023] figure 1 Is a perspective view of a digital radiography (DR) imaging system 10, which according to one embodiment may include a generally curved or flat DR detector 40 (shown in a flat embodiment and without a housing for clarity of description), An x-ray source 14 configured to generate radiographic energy (x-ray radiation), and a digital monitor or electronic display 26 configured to display images captured by the DR detector 40. The DR detector 40 may include a two-dimensional array 12 of detector units 22 (photoelectric sensors) arranged in electrically addressable rows and columns. The DR detector 40 may be positioned to receive the x-rays 16 emitted by the x-ray source 14 ...

Abstract

A method of capturing radiographic images by wirelessly synchronizing steps performed by first and second components of a radiographic imaging system. Digital messages are sent between the first and second components and the send and receive times are recorded so that a transmission delay time and clock drift rate may be determined. A schedule of first component steps and a schedule of second component steps are generated based on the send and receive times, the transmission delay time and the clock drift rate.

Description

Technical field [0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a radiographic image capture system and method as a radiographic image capture system and method that synchronizes inspection operations between a digital radiography (DR) detector and an x-ray generator or x-ray source. Background technique [0002] Fluoroscopy and tomosynthesis applications require both synchronization between the DR detector and the x-ray source and high frame rate data capture. Synchronization allows the x-ray source to emit when the detector is in integration (integration window). Currently, it is desirable to wirelessly control the timing operation of the DR detector and x-ray source for use in bedside applications. In some applications, wireless radiographic image capture occurs by triggering the detector to take advantage of the timing uncertainty between the exposure period of the x-ray source and the integration period of the detector to start integration. Uncertainty is caused by u...
