20080285721 | LOCALIZING UNIT FOR AN X-RAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM WITH A STERILE DRAPE - The disclosure relates to a localizing unit for an X-ray diagnostic system covered with a sterile drape. In one embodiment, the localizing unit can be sterilized and has an adapter, which includes a means for puncturing the sterile drape and a means for temporarily securing the sterile drape on a housing of the X-ray diagnostic system. The adapter may be detachably held in predetermined holders on the housing of the X-ray diagnostic system and may be positioned on the housing in a reproducible manner. In some embodiments, the means for temporarily securing the sterile drape on the housing includes an elastically deformable, surrounding seal, which upon positioning the adapter, produces a force on the sterile drape in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the housing. | 11-20-2008 |
20100054421 | STRUCTURE FOR A ROD RADIATION SOURCE AND ITS CALIBRATION PHANTOM - A rod radiation source and its calibration phantom structure mainly have an anti-leak filter layer on one side of a lower lamination layer, and have the anti-leak filter layer evenly deposited with plural drops of liquid radiation sources with each drop of radiation source neighboring but not overlapping, and use an upper lamination layer to cover the anti-leak filter layer to protect each radiation source, and have the above assembly rolled into a rod as a rod radiation source. In another cylindrical container that has a stack of plural sheets, the rod radiation sources get evenly distributed along the axle center and pass each sheet to form a calibration phantom structure for a rod radiation source. | 03-04-2010 |
20140037071 | SUPPLY UNIT FOR A MOVABLE GANTRY - An imaging device has a gantry designed to movie along the floor of a room in which the imaging device is installed. The imaging device has a supply unit that includes a transfer arrangement to transfer power and/or data and/or coolant between a stationary supply source and the movable gantry. The supply unit is arranged in or on the floor. | 02-06-2014 |
20140044241 | C-Arm X-Ray Device with a C-Arm and Associated Method - A C-arm x-ray device includes a C-arm and an x-ray source and an x-ray detector arranged on the C-arm. At least one damping element with an oscillation-damping effect is arranged between the x-ray source and the C-arm. Transmission of oscillations of the x-ray source onto the C-arm may be reduced with the at least one damping element. The C-arm x-ray device also includes at least one holding element arranged on the C-arm. The oscillation-damping effect of the at least one damping element may be influenced. | 02-13-2014 |
20140369477 | X-RAY APPARATUS FOR ROUND VISIT - With an X-ray apparatus for round visit of this invention, when a brake operation is carried out, a CPU performs deceleration control (braking current control at c and short brake control at e) of a movable carriage instead of immediately driving electromagnetic brakes, and drives the electromagnetic brakes at time f. Therefore, a great shock does not occur to the apparatus, and there is no possibility of the operator colliding with the apparatus. Since the deceleration control of the movable carriage is carried out in advance, the apparatus does not stop suddenly and does not impair the floor. As a result, the X-ray apparatus for round visit is realized, in which no great shock occurs to the apparatus at times of deceleration, and which is also safe for the operator. | 12-18-2014 |
20150085991 | Stand with Device for Distortion Compensation - An X-ray stand includes a device that compensates for distortions caused by weight. The stand includes a horizontal bracket. The device for distortion compensation includes an inclination-angle transmitter that generates an inclination signal as a function of an inclination angle of the bracket. The device also includes a control device that receives the inclination signal from the inclination-angle transmitter, a motor drive that is activated by the control device, and an adjustment device that is driven by the motor drive and is configured to adjust the inclination angle of the bracket. The control device activates the motor drive such that any deviation of the inclination angle of the bracket from a predefined inclination angle is reduced. | 03-26-2015 |
20150124941 | C-ARM SLEEVE - A C-arm sleeve for preserving the sterility of a C-arm. The C-arm sleeve includes a C-frame drape configured to cover the C-frame of the C-arm. The C-arm sleeve also includes an image intensifier drape configured to be placed over an image intensifier of the C-arm. The C-arm sleeve further includes a tube-head drape configured to be placed over a tube-head of the C-arm. | 05-07-2015 |
20160058402 | MOBILE-TYPE RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGE PICK UP DEVICE - An improved configuration of a mobile-type radiographic image pickup device reliably stops on a flat path without play. More specifically, the prevent invention stops reliably on an inclined path. Where a carriage accelerates regardless of that fact that a deceleration control unit has begun to restrict the movement of the carriage, a brake control unit causes a brake device to operate. According to the present invention, if the carriage accelerates regardless of the fact that a deceleration control unit has begun to restrict the movement of the carriage, the brake device is promptly operated, and prevents concern regardless of the application of an instruction to stop the carriage which is travelling on an incline, and prevents the carriage from running for a long period to time. | 03-03-2016 |
