US Patent:
2008002, Jan 31, 2008
Filed:
Jul 25, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/492437
Inventors:
Charles G. Peterfy - Kentfield CA, US
David L. White - Oakland CA, US
Manish Kothari - San Rafael CA, US
Gabriele von Ingersleben - Alameda CA, US
Martine M. Sieffert - San Francisco CA, US
Julie Camille DiCarlo - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
Synarc, Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
H05G 1/28
US Classification:
378162
Abstract:
A frame for determining the position and orientation of an x-ray source relative to an x-ray cassette during x-radiography. In one embodiment the frame includes an x-ray transparent or translucent plate having a first surface and a second surface; and a partially radio-opaque protrusion positioned on the first surface of the plate. In another embodiment, a method for determining the position and orientation of an x-ray source relative to an x-ray cassette is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a frame, including an x-ray transparent plate having a first surface and a second surface; and a protrusion having a radio-opaque portion positioned on the first surface of the plate, and placing the plate on the x-ray cassette such that the second surface is in contact with the x-ray cassette. The method further includes placing the appendage on the plate in close juxtaposition to the protrusion, exposing the appendage and plate to an x-ray beam, and examining the image formed.

US Patent:
2008003, Feb 14, 2008
Filed:
Jul 25, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/492627
Inventors:
Charles G. Peterfy - Kentfield CA, US
David L. White - Oakland CA, US
Manish Kothari - San Rafael CA, US
Gabriele von Ingersleben - Alameda CA, US

International Classification:
H05G 1/28, H05G 1/00
US Classification:
378162, 378208
Abstract:
A frame for positioning and labeling an appendage relative to an x-ray cassette during x-radiography. In one embodiment, the frame includes an x-ray transparent plate having a first surface and a second surface; and a protrusion positioned on the first surface. The protrusion aids in the positioning of the appendage and preventing the first surface of the plate from being in contact with the x-ray cassette. In still yet another embodiment, the plate includes indicia for positioning the appendage. Another aspect of the invention is a method for positioning an appendage on x-ray cassette including the steps of: providing a frame having an x-ray transparent plate having a first surface and a second surface; and a protrusion positioned on the first surface; placing the plate on the x-ray cassette such that the second surface is in contact with the x-ray cassette; and placing the appendage on the plate.
