IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PORTABLE STEREOSCOPIC TOMOGRAPHY

摘要

A portable imaging apparatus for obtaining stereoscopic radiography images has a transport frame that has a support structure and an x-ray source array that is coupled to the support structure and that has three or more x-ray sources, each x-ray source separately energizable to emit radiation toward a subject. There is at least one x-ray detector adapted to acquire digital image data according to radiation received from the x-ray sources of the x-ray source array. An image processor is in signal communication with the at least one x-ray detector and adapted to generate, from the acquired digital image data, a right-eye digital image and a left-eye digital image of the subject. A display apparatus is in signal communication with the image processor and is adapted to display the right-eye and left-eye digital images of the subject to a viewer.
