CALGARY, Feb. 27 /CNW/ - (Imaging Dynamics Company Ltd.)
(TSX: IDL), the global leader in digital radiography for image
quality and value, today announced that it was awarded the
patent for a dual energy optically coupled digital radiography
system. This is the 7th U.S. patent and one of many patents
that have been awarded to IDC in countries around the world for
technology innovations in digital radiography.
According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "This
invention relates to an optically coupled digital radiography
method and apparatus for simultaneously obtaining two distinct
images of the same subject, each of which represents a different
X-ray energy spectrum. The two images may be combined in various
ways such that anatomical features may be separated from one
another to provide a clearer view of those features or of
underlying structures."
