==DOSE CONTROL METHOD FOR A MOBILE X-RAY DETECTOR OF A MEDICAL X-RAY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18478675 titled 'DOSE CONTROL METHOD FOR A MOBILE X-RAY DETECTOR OF A MEDICAL X-RAY SYSTEM

==Simplified Explanation==

The present invention relates to a dose control method for a mobile x-ray detector of a medical x-ray system, involving generating a data packet with a time stamp and dose value, sending it via radio link to an x-ray generator, receiving the data packet, comparing time stamps, calculating latency, and extrapolating an overall dose.

* Method for dose control in a mobile x-ray detector:
    - Generate a data packet with time stamp and dose value
    - Send data packet via radio link to x-ray generator
    - Receive data packet from x-ray generator
    - Compare time stamps and calculate latency
    - Extrapolate overall dose from dose value, time stamp, and latency

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various medical settings where precise dose control and monitoring are crucial, such as in radiology departments, emergency rooms, and intensive care units.

== Problems Solved ==
- Ensures accurate dose delivery to patients
- Improves safety by monitoring radiation exposure in real-time
- Enhances efficiency by streamlining dose control processes

== Benefits ==
- Increased accuracy in dose delivery
- Real-time monitoring of radiation exposure
- Streamlined dose control processes

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Enhancing Dose Control in Mobile X-ray Detectors: Applications in Medical Imaging"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be existing technologies or methods for dose control in x-ray systems, but the specific approach of using time stamps, latency calculation, and extrapolation for overall dose estimation may be a novel aspect of this invention.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

== How does this technology impact patient outcomes in the long term? ==
The article does not delve into the long-term effects of using this dose control method on patient outcomes, such as radiation exposure levels over time and potential health implications.

== What are the cost implications of implementing this technology in medical facilities? ==
The article does not address the potential costs associated with implementing this dose control method in medical facilities, including equipment upgrades, training for staff, and maintenance expenses.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

One or more example embodiments of the present invention relates to a dose control method for a mobile x-ray detector of a medical x-ray system, comprising generating a data packet having a time stamp of a clock of the mobile x-ray detector and a dose value; sending the data packet via a radio link from the mobile x-ray detector to an x-ray generator; receiving the data packet from the x-ray generator; comparing the time stamp with a clock of the x-ray generator and calculating a latency; and extrapolating an overall dose from the dose value, the time stamp and the latency.
