RADIOGRAPHIC MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEM USING ROBOT MOUNTED SOURCE AND SENSOR FOR DYNAMIC IMAGE CAPTURE AND TOMOGRAPHY
A radiographic imaging system 100 includes a penetrating radiation source 110 including a first translating device 115, the first translating device 115 comprising a first controller 116 for positioning the radiation source. A radiation detector 120 includes second translating device 125 comprising a second controller for positioning the detector 120. A motion capture device 140 is communicably connected to both the first and second controllers. The motion capture device 140 tracks a position of the subject being imaged and provides position information to both the first controller 116 and second controller 126 for dynamically coordinating trajectories for both the radiation source 110 and the radiation detector 120. The first and second translating devices preferably comprise robotic arms.
