Embodiment Construction

[0021] The following description details specific details of the invention in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. Indeed, the invention can be practiced by modifying the methods described herein and the products produced therefrom, and it can be used with instrumentation and techniques commonly used in the art. Although the invention has been described for use in dental X-ray imaging, it can also be used in other medical applications such as medical imaging, veterinary and bone densitometry. Additionally, it can be used in non-dental and non-medical applications such as industrial imaging, metal fatigue detection, weld inspection for cracks / welds and shrinkage cavities, and security screening for random checks of packages and carry-on luggage.

[0022] As stated above, the present invention includes a portable X-ray devic...

Abstract

Portable x-ray devices and methods for using such devices are described. The devices have an x-ray tube powered by an integrated power system. The x-ray tube is shielded with a low-density insulating material containing a high-Z substance. The devices can also have an integrated display component. With these components, the size and weight of the x-ray devices can be reduced and the portability of the devices enhanced. The x-ray devices also have an x-ray detecting means that is not structurally attached to the device and therefore is free standing. Consequently, the x-ray devices can also be used as a digital x-ray camera. The portable x-ray devices are especially useful for applications where portability is an important feature such as in field work, remote operations, and mobile operations such as nursing homes, home healthcare, or teaching classrooms. This portability feature can be particularly useful in multi-suite medical and dental offices where a single x-ray device can be used as a digital x-ray camera in multiple offices instead of requiring a separate device in every office.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 546,575, filed February 20,2004. Its entire content is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to X-ray equipment and methods of use thereof; in particular, to portable X-ray equipment equipped with a self-contained X-ray detector, the use of such portable X-ray equipment as a digital X-ray camera Methods, and systems equipped with such portable X-ray devices. Background technique [0004] Conventional X-ray tubes and X-ray equipment (equipment containing X-ray tubes) have been known and used for a long time. Unfortunately, they are often bulky and powered by bulky high-voltage power supplies, which limit their mobility. Additionally, they are generally difficult and time-consuming to use. In many cases, samples for analysis must be sent to off-site laboratories for analysis with X-ray ...
