| 8180130 | Method for X-ray marker localization in 3D space in the presence of motion A method and system of determining a radial distance (R), an angular position (φ), and an axial position (Z) of a marker identified in a sequence of projection images. A marker three-dimensional localization module (executable by the electronic processing unit) obt... | 05/15/2012 |
| 8119990 | System and method of X-ray detection with a sensor A system and method for automatic detection of x-rays at an x-ray sensor. A source emits x-ray radiation towards an x-ray sensor, and the x-ray sensor automatically detects the x-ray radiation. The x-ray sensor automatically detects x-ray radiation by evaluating a t... | 02/21/2012 |
| 7912249 | Tomographic imaging A method of displaying tomographic information. The method comprises defining a compact region within an imaged target and generating an image showing a part of the target encircling the compact region, wherein the compact region represents a bore to be drilled and ... | 03/22/2011 |
| 7873192 | Method for providing a smoothed image A method of and apparatus for enhancing an array of values, which may be tomographic data, are disclosed. The values are divided into categories. Values in at least one first category are smoothed by replacing an original individual value with a new individual value... | 01/18/2011 |
