An x-ray apparatus and method can improve x-ray imaging in a variety of ways. For example, the improve x-ray apparatus can reduce scatter from x-ray images acquired by two-dimensional detectors. An improved 2D x-ray apparatus can provide 3D imaging for medical and / or industrial applications. An improved 2D x-ray apparatus and method can produce separate material imaging, and composition analysis for characterization and correlation of image, densitometry, and composition information of individual component or individual material within a single subject. Non-rotational 3D microscopy, combining 2D or 3D full field x-ray imaging and high resolution 2D or 3D x-ray microscopy or spectral absorptiometry and spectroscopy can achieve a higher resolution and wider field of view in x-ray imaging and quantitative analysis in 3D and real time. The x-ray apparatus can improve tracking and / or surgical guidance in time and / or space.

The application discloses a dual-energy ray bone density evaluation method based on a flat panel detector and relates to the technical field of ray evaluation.The direct conversion mode of the flat panel detector is used to realize high-precision collection of low-energy and high-energy ray images, and noise and resolution loss caused by traditional indirect imaging are significantly reduced;one-time and two-time corrections are completed in an edge computing node, the problem of gray scale discontinuity and energy ratio distortion in the joint area of bones and soft tissues is effectively solved, and the authenticity of the image boundary is improved;further dynamic smoothing processing of the energy ratio is combined to obtain a stable ratio image, the stability and repeatability of bone density measurement are significantly enhanced, and more accurate bone density evaluation is realized.

The present invention discloses a medical digital adjustable delayed exposure circuit, comprising: a power supply circuit, an exposure drive circuit, and a timed exposure preparatory drive circuit. Based on a digital chip with stable performance, mature semiconductor transistor elements, and standardized resistors and capacitors, the circuit has a stronger shockproof function than a mechanical timing device. Moreover, compared with a solution using programmable devices, the circuit solution of pure logic gates and triggers does not have soft errors and has more stable performance. Through the design of a universal interface, the circuit can be adapted to mainstream radiological equipment on the market, such as: small X-ray machines, bedside DR machines, bone densitometry machines, oral dental radiographs, CBCT machines, etc., so it has strong versatility, is easy to promote, and has important application value in actual clinical work.

TDS (Time-Delayed Summation) acquisition systems and methods may be used within various imaging device and systems, such as a densitometry system with highly pixelated 2-D detectors and compact x-ray fan beam that scans patients in a rastering pattern across the patient axis. An improved system and method is described for extending the usability of TDS data on each transverse sweep of the scan, by acquiring data when the scan speed is variable. In this method, the TDS shift strobe signal is no longer a constant periodic function. Instead the time between strobes is dependent on the scan velocity and the strobe sequence is generated to provide constant sampling distance between strobes. Thus, the TDS shift sequence insures a constant image pixel size, enabling undistorted images despite the variable speed occurring during the signal summation.
