==Multi-Directional X-Ray Imaging System - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008825 titled 'Multi-Directional X-Ray Imaging System

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an imaging system and methods that include a gantry, a bore, and an imaging axis. The gantry is supported by at least one support member, allowing for vertical displacement. The system can perform vertical imaging scans, such as helical x-ray CT scans, on weight-bearing patients. The gantry is also rotatable between a vertical and horizontal orientation, allowing for horizontal scans. The system can perform horizontal scans on patients or objects positioned within the bore.

* The imaging system includes a gantry, bore, and imaging axis.
* The gantry is supported by at least one support member, allowing for vertical displacement.
* The system can obtain vertical imaging scans, such as helical x-ray CT scans, on weight-bearing patients.
* The gantry is rotatable between a vertical and horizontal orientation.
* The system can perform horizontal scans on patients or objects positioned within the bore.

== Potential Applications ==
* Medical imaging: The system can be used for various medical imaging applications, including vertical and horizontal scans of weight-bearing patients.
* Orthopedics: The system can provide valuable imaging information for orthopedic evaluations, such as assessing bone fractures or joint conditions in weight-bearing positions.
* Sports medicine: The system can aid in diagnosing and monitoring sports-related injuries, especially those that require weight-bearing imaging scans.
* Research: The system can be utilized in research studies that require vertical or horizontal imaging scans of patients or objects.

== Problems Solved ==
* Limited imaging options: The system addresses the limitation of traditional imaging systems by providing the capability to perform vertical and horizontal scans on weight-bearing patients.
* Improved accuracy: By allowing weight-bearing scans, the system can provide more accurate imaging information, especially for conditions that are influenced by body position or load-bearing.
* Enhanced diagnostic capabilities: The system's ability to perform vertical and horizontal scans expands the range of diagnostic possibilities, enabling better evaluation and treatment planning.

== Benefits ==
* Comprehensive imaging: The system offers both vertical and horizontal imaging scans, providing a more comprehensive view of the patient's condition.
* Improved patient comfort: Weight-bearing scans can be more comfortable for patients, as they can assume a natural standing or sitting position during the imaging process.
* Enhanced diagnostic accuracy: The system's ability to perform weight-bearing scans can lead to more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans, particularly for conditions influenced by body position or load-bearing.
* Versatile research tool: The system's flexibility in performing vertical and horizontal scans makes it a valuable tool for various research studies in the medical field.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an imaging system and methods including a gantry defining a bore and an imaging axis extending through the bore, and at least one support member that supports the gantry such that the imaging axis has a generally vertical orientation, where the gantry is displaceable with respect to the at least one support member in a generally vertical direction. the imaging system may be configured to obtain a vertical imaging scan (e.g., a helical x-ray ct scan), of a patient in a weight-bearing position. the gantry may be rotatable between a first position, in which the gantry is supported such that the imaging axis has a generally vertical orientation, and a second position, such that the imaging axis has a generally horizontal orientation. the gantry may be displaceable in a horizontal direction and the system may perform a horizontal scan of a patient or object positioned within the bore.
