TLDR
An imaging apparatus and related method comprising a detector located a distance from a source and positioned to receive a beam of radiation in a trajectory, a detector positioner that translates the detector to an alternate position in a direction that is substantially normal to the trajectory, and a beam positioner which alters the trajectory of the radiation beam to direct the beam onto the detector located at the alternate position is described in this paper.Abstract:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a revolution drive mechanism for X-ray imaging by rotating the X-Ray generation part and the detection part around the object while the two parts are opposed to each other with said object interposed there between.
Patent
Method and Apparatus for Implantation Between Two Vertebral Bodies
TL;DR: A method and system to assist in a planning and navigation of procedure is described in this paper, where the system allows for image acquisition of a selected area of the anatomy and the images may then be used to mark various points to determine true anatomical definitions and planes.
Patent
Systems and methods for quasi-simultaneous multi-planar x-ray imaging
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a system for obtaining two-dimensional images of an object, such as a patient, in multiple projection planes using a single radiation source, which can be used for medical x-ray imaging.
Patent
Method and arrangement relating to X-ray imaging
TL;DR: In this article, a novel X-ray apparatus is provided for three-dimensional imaging and in particular for tomosynthesis examination, which includes an Xray source having a focal spot, a collimator including a plurality of slits, a detector assembly including a line detectors corresponding to respective ones of the slits and an exposure volume arranged between the collimators and the detector assembly.

Fluoroscopic tracking and visualization system
TL;DR: In this article, a system employs a tracker and a set of substantially non-shadowing point markers, arranged in a fixed pattern or set in a fluoroscope calibration fixture that is imaged in each shot.
Patent
X-ray ct device
TL;DR: An X-ray CT apparatus comprises: motion information acquisition means that acquires periodical motion information on a motion portion of an object to be examined; reconstruction means that processes the projection data resulting from the detector to reconstruct a tomogram of the object.
Patent
Multi-planar X-ray fluoroscopy system using radiofrequency fields
TL;DR: In this article, the position and orientation of an invasive device, such as a catheter, are measured with radiofrequency fields during an X-ray fluoroscopy procedure, and multiple views of the instantaneous position of the invasive device are displayed by superposition of graphic symbols on multiple static Xray images obtained at multiple view angles.

TL;DR: A prototype imaging system that can perform simultaneous x-ray transmission CT and SPECT phantom studies with a 23-element high-purity-germanium detector array is developed.
Patent
Mri system with open access to patient image volume
TL;DR: In this article, an MRI system using a pair of opposed magnetic poles to create the requisite static magnetic field H o is configured so as to provide open and unobstructed patient access areas communicating directly with an MRI imaging volume along directions which are perpendicular to the patient transport axis.
