Computerized tomography radiograph data transfer cap
First Claim
1. A data transfer cap for cranial computerized tomography images comprising a substantially form-fitting dome-shaped cap including a peripheral edge and an apex, a first plurality of elongated depth markers extending from the peripheral edge toward the apex of said cap, a second plurality of elongated depth markers located diametrically across from the first plurality and also extending from the peripheral edge toward the apex of the cap, said depth markers of each plurality of depth markers being graduated in height and extending a different distance from the other markers from the peripheral edge toward the apex of the cap, and a plurality of circumferential markers located between the first and second plurality of depth markers extending from the peripheral edge toward the apex of the cap.

Abstract
The data transfer for cranial computerized tomography images is substantially form-fitting and dome-shaped. First and second groups of elongated depth markers are positioned in front and in back, diametrically across from each other, and each depth marker extends from the peripheral edge of the cap toward the apex of the cap, the markers are positioned parallel to one another and each marker is graduated in length and terminates at its upper end in an enlargement. A plurality of longitudinal or circumferential markers are positioned between the first and second groups of depth markers and also extend from the peripheral edge of the cap toward the apex of the cap.

8. A data transfer cap for cranial computerized tomography images comprising a substantially form-fitting dome-shaped cap, a grid of elongated markers of progressive graduated size extending in a pattern throughout said cap, said markers being detectable on a radiograph of the cap and the head upon which the cap is positioned so as to provide location reference marks on said radiograph.
