More to GE’s X-Ray Research than Meets the Eye
From what I’ve told you so far it may look like our team here at GE Global Research is primarily focused on the development of systems components and hardware. That’s of course not entirely true – we also analyze, characterize and predict the expected performance of the systems we’re building, so that we end up with an optimal design. Pictured at left is a member of my team, Bernard Claus, performing some of this analysis.
We also develop many of the advanced applications that leverage and build upon this great technology. Here are some examples of this type of work – with links to abstracts of papers and conferences where some of the team’s successes were published earlier this year:
(1) Characterization of tomosynthesis system performance – Links to Abstracts online
“Rapid Acquisition Tomosynthesis System for 3D Mammography”
“High-speed large angle mammography tomosynthesis system”
2) 3D reconstruction of spin data from a vascular/interventional X-ray system – Link to Abstract online
“An iterative algorithm for soft tissue reconstruction from truncated flat panel projections”
(3) Computer aided detection on tomosynthesis datasets – Link to paper
“Micro-calcification detection in digital tomosynthesis mammography”
4) Geometry calibration of x-ray imaging systems – Link to paper
It is a good initiative sharing the technology. It would be nice to know additional details, such as, IP being generated, clinical evaluation feedback, etc
