Abstract:
A collimation system for a medical apparatus includes a collimation component having a laser emitting device, at least one photographing device, and a computing device. The laser emitting device is configured to the emit a laser beam to irradiate on a landmark on a body surface of a patient, the at least one photographing device is configured to take a photograph of a laser irradiation spot, and the computing device is configured to obtain a position of the laser irradiation spot by performing computation on images obtained by the at least one photographing device. The system further includes a moving component provided on the medical apparatus and configured to move to a target position for performing diagnosis or treatment. The medical apparatus automatically is configured to locate the moving component based on the position of the irradiation spot obtained from the computation.
