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.
