78 results about "Vertebral column" patented technology

The vertebral column, also known as the backbone or spine, is part of the axial skeleton. The vertebral column is the defining characteristic of a vertebrate in which the notochord (a flexible rod of uniform composition) found in all chordates has been replaced by a segmented series of bone: vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs. The vertebral column houses the spinal canal, a cavity that encloses and protects the spinal cord.

This invention discloses a geometric parameter calibration method for an X-ray imaging system, relating to the field of medical imaging equipment technology. This invention significantly improves the adaptability of portable X-ray equipment in scenarios involving rapid switching between pets of various sizes through an anatomical feature-driven parameter self-calibration mechanism. Utilizing the inherent proportional relationships of mammalian skeletons, such as the ratio of intervertebral space to rib width, geometric parameter calibration is completed in a single exposure, eliminating reliance on traditional physical calibration modules and avoiding proportional distortion of reconstructed images due to size differences. For live respiratory motion, respiratory frequency components are separated in the frequency domain of the projection data, and displacement errors are dynamically corrected through reverse compensation, effectively suppressing motion artifacts without the need for external control equipment. For the edge distortion problem of low-cost detectors, a polynomial distortion model is constructed based on the symmetry of 180° projection, combined with a robust iterative optimization algorithm, to automatically complete calibration during initial power-on or periodic scans.
