Mammography System And Method Employing Offset Compression Paddles, Automatic Collimation, And Retractable Anti-Scatter Grid

View page
US Patent:
7319735, Jan 15, 2008
Filed:
Nov 30, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/607748
Inventors:
Kenneth F. Defreitas - Patterson NY, US
Anthony Pellegrino - New Fairfield CT, US
Thomas A. Farbizio - Patterson NY, US
Roman Janer - Englewood CO, US
Georgia Hitzke - Boston MA, US
Assignee:
Hologic, Inc. - Bedford MA
International Classification:
A61B 6/04
G21K 1/02
G21K 1/00
H05G 1/00
US Classification:
378 37, 378147, 378154, 378208
Abstract:
A mammographic imaging system is optimized for use with a single fixed size flat panel digital image receptor. It accommodates compression devices (paddles) of varying sizes, and positions them properly in the field of view of the image receptor. When a compression paddle with size smaller than the field of view of the image receptor is used, the compression paddle can be shifted laterally in the direction parallel to the chest wall, so as to facilitate different views of different size breasts, and permit the image receptor to image as much of the desired tissue as possible. An automatic x-ray collimator restricts the x-ray illumination of the breast in accordance with compression paddle size and location in the field of view. An anti-scatter grid, mounted inside the image receptor enclosure, just below the top cover of the enclosure, can be retracted out of the field of view of the image receptor for use in magnification imaging.

US Patent:
7430272, Sep 30, 2008
Filed:
Oct 16, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/582061
Inventors:
Zhenxue Jing - Southbury CT, US
Georgia Hitzke - Saunderstown RI, US
Donald Kennedy - Bethel CT, US
Andrew Smith - Medford MA, US
Jay A. Stein - Boston MA, US
Assignee:
Hologic, Inc. - Bedford MA
International Classification:
A61B 6/04
US Classification:
378 37, 378 21
Abstract:
A mammography system using a tissue exposure control relying on estimates of the thickness of the compressed and immobilized breast and of breast density to automatically derive one or more technic factors. The system further uses a tomosynthesis arrangement that maintains the focus of an anti-scatter grid on the x-ray source and also maintains the field of view of the x-ray receptor. Finally, the system finds an outline that forms a reduced field of view that still encompasses the breast in the image, and uses for further processing, transmission or archival storage the data within said reduced field of view.

US Patent:

Filed:
Jun 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/491147
Inventors:
Georgia Hitzke - Boston MA, US
Kathleen Pickett - Uncasville CT, US
Nikolaos Gkanatsios - Danbury CT, US
Ken Defreitas - Patterson NY, US
Tom Farbizio - Patterson NY, US

Assignee:
Hologic, Inc. - Bedford MA
International Classification:
A61B 6/03
H01J 35/16
US Classification:
378 37, 378203
Abstract:
Breast imaging using any one of a mammography system, a tomosynthesis system, or a fused system that selectively takes either or both of mammography images and tomosynthesis images, further uses a patient shield that moves closer to and further away from the patient's chest and head, between (1) an access position that facilitates the technologist's access to adjust the patient's breast while the breast is being compressed and (b) a protective position in which the shield helps protect the patient from collision with moving components and from x-ray exposure of tissue other than the tissue that is to be imaged.
