Abstract:
A system for cone beam computed tomography of an extremity has an x-ray source and a digital radiographic detector both revolved about a central imaging axis so that the detector moves at least partially around a first extremity of a patient and, if the extremity is the leg of the patient, the detector moves between the legs of the patient. The detector path has a radial distance less than that of the source path. A housing that encloses the source and detector includes a pivoting door to allow sideways access for the patient's leg to be placed at the central imaging axis.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus for cone beam computed tomographic imaging of one extremity of a patient, the apparatus comprising:\n a digital radiation detector configured to move around a central axis along a detector path at a first radial distance from the central axis; a radiation source configured to move around the central axis along a source path simultaneously with the movement of the detector along the detector path, the source path at a second radial distance from the central axis, the second radial distance greater than the first radial distance; a C-shaped housing configured to enclose the source as the source moves around the source path and to enclose the detector as the detector moves around a portion of the detector path, the housing comprising a gap configured to allow the one extremity of the patient to be positioned at the central axis by moving the one extremity of the patient through the housing gap in a direction substantially perpendicular to the central axis; and a housing extension attached to the housing and configured to controllably extend from the housing across the housing gap to enclose the detector as the detector moves along the detector path and across the housing gap and to prevent the one extremity of the patient from moving through the housing gap.
