Imaging system including detector framing node
First Claim
1. An image data acquisition system, comprising:
- a host computer having at least one host processor executing operations with an operating system and a host memory storing data; and
a detector framing node being programmable to receive image data from a selected flat panel detector of a plurality of different flat panel detectors, and communicating the received image data to the host memory independent of the operating system.

Abstract
An imaging system includes a programmable detector framing node controlling generation of radiation and controlling radioscopic image detection. Radioscopic image data is acquired and communicated independently of a host computer operating system. The detector framing node controls events in real time according to an event instruction sequence and communicates received radioscopic image data to host memory through a computer communication bus. Image data is received from a selected flat panel detector of a plurality of different flat panel detectors. The image data is selectively reordered according to parameters of the selected flat panel detector before communication to host memory.

28. A detector framing node, comprising:
-
a computer communication interface to communicate image data with a host memory of a host computer over a computer communication bus independently from control of a host processor of the host computer; and
a control unit to receive a plurality of event instructions from the host computer through said computer communication interface, the event instructions selectively controlling events in the detector framing node, a radiation generation system, or an image detection system, and said control unit executing the event instructions in real time at predetermined timing intervals. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
