1. A method of displaying image in an imaging system, the method comprising:
obtaining an image from an radiation detector;
receiving a selection for orientation from a user;
mechanically rotating the radiation detector based on the selection for orientation; and
performing a digital image rotation on the image complementing the mechanical rotation of the radiation detector such that the image is rotated to the orientation selected by the user; and
displaying the image.
2. The method of claim 1, comprises mechanically rotating the radiation detector in the range of about 0 degree to about 45 degrees in at least one of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the detector is a flat panel detector having a square shape.
4. The method of claim 1, comprises mechanically rotating the radiation detector in the range of about 0 degree to about 90 degrees in at least one of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the detector is a flat panel detector having a rectangular shape.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein performing the digital image rotation comprises rotating the image in multiples of 90 degrees.
7. The method of claim 6, comprises steps of.
reading one or more pixel values associated with an image data of the image from an image buffer;
arranging the pixel values into a matrix;
rotating the pixels by obtaining transpose of the matrix based one of a 90 degree rotation, a 180 degree rotation, and a 270 degree rotation; and
transferring the rotated pixels to an image memory.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein obtaining the image comprises steps of:
providing a radiation source such that radiation emitted by the source is transmitted through an object onto a scintillator;
providing a plurality of image sensors, each image sensor having a two dimensional array of pixel elements that detect light from the scintillator that is emitted in response to radiation from the radiation source;
positioning the object on a support surface;
directing the radiation through the ROI of the object onto the scintillator which emits a spatial intensity pattern of light that is detected by the image sensors, the spatial intensity pattern being coupled to the image sensors with an optical system;
binning charge from separate pixel elements of the image sensors for readout with an electronic controller; and
forming an image of the ROI from the binned representation.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the image sensor comprises one of a two dimensional array of MOS capacitors and a charge coupled device (CCD) that includes a plurality of interpixel channels.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the optical sensing system is a fiber optic coupler between the scintillator and the image sensor.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
