Innovative technologies, particularly in the area of medical imaging, offer a promising solution. Highly mobile, easily portable X-ray systems that are straightforward yet reliable are of particular importance in this regard. However, reducing the weight of portable X-ray systems often makes the overall system less stable, which degrades image quality.
The “DORMO” project is investigating the effect of object and system movements on X-ray images. This involves inducing vibrations and shocks in the mobile X-ray system. The effects are then measured using sensors. In addition, comparative measurements involving X-ray phantoms are being conducted on various mobile X-ray systems at Klinikum Chemnitz.
The findings are being used to develop wireless sensor modules that can be integrated into X-ray systems for detecting movements and object positions while mobile X-ray systems are in use. By combining the sensor data, the aim is to determine the optimal moment and parameters for capturing the X-ray image.
