摘要:
A curved bar probe (1) for an echograph is fabricated by using a thin support (2) on which is placed a bar of piezoelectric crystal. The bar is divided into a plurality of piezoelectric transducers elements (3). The thin support presents the particularity of being rigid at room temperature but is thermodeformable. By subjecting it to a heating-cooling cycle during which it is given a desired curved shape, a rigid bar having an imposed curved shape is obtained. It is then possible to avoid the adhesion of said support to a base (16). This would form a back-reflecting surface for acoustic waves and would create interference harmful to the useful acoustic signal.

Problems related to acquistion time with reconstructed image type tomographs are resolved by causing step by step rotations of the X-ray tube/multiple detector set of this tomograph and, at each step, by causing a translational movement of this set in order to scan the entire region to be examined of a body under examination. It is shown that, by using a multiple row multidetector, it is possible, at equal speeds, to improve the quality of the images produced or, at equal quality, to increase the acquisition speed. Furthermore, this mode of operation is especially well suited to the monitoring of radiotherapy action where the practitioner, when acquiring images, needs to be able to touch the patient.

A direct-current high voltage obtained by rippling, stepping-up and rectification of a direct-current low voltage is regulated in such a manner as to ensure that the maximum value of direct-current high voltage attains a predetermined peak value at each ripple pulse of the inverter. To this end, a following pulse of the inverter is produced as soon as the high voltage of the direct-current high-voltage signal has become lower than the predetermined peak value reduced by the measurement of a variation in said direct-current high voltage during a preceding pulse.

The invention concerns an X-ray stand permitting isocentric movements and intended particularly for radio diagnosis. Stand includes a base supporting a binding clip having a first and second arm supporting respectively an X-ray source and receiver. According to a feature of the invention, binding clip includes a foot by which it is supported by the base by means of devices to move foot in a circular movement centered on an isocenter point.

The invention relates to an X-ray tube with a rotating anode which is driven by a magnetic bearings motor. The anodic current is outflowed by a friction-type contact device which is located inside the shaft supporting the rotor of the motor. The friction contact device is actuated so as to cut off or establish an electrical contact between an inner wall of the rotor and the friction contact device.

An X-ray emitting device of the X-ray unit type is disclosed, the arrangement of which simplifies maintenance problems. The emitting device has a metallic casing containing an X-ray tube and supply means. According to a feature of the invention, the X-ray tube and the supply means are contained in a first and second imperviously sealed chamber, filled with oil.

An antenna for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging devices has two electromagnetic circuits connected to each other so as to produce mutual opposition of their electromotive force when they are placed in a uniform electromagnetic induction field. It is considered that a localized transmitter does not produce a uniform field. This antenna therefore makes it possible to detect this field if it comes close to this latter. On the other hand, this antenna does not present any reactive field to a transmitter in which it may be considered that the field opposite to said antenna is uniform.
摘要:
The calibration method consists in measuring the efficiency D of a detector cell placed behind the object as a function of various phantom thicknesses E.sub.p and various X-ray tube supply voltages V.sub.m. These measurements enable an analytic model D=f(V.sub.m, E.sub.p) to be determined describing the resulting curves. The inverse function of this analytic model can be used for calculating thickness E.sub.p as a function of the measured efficiency D and the known supply voltage V.sub.m.
摘要:
The vertical displacement of a patient support table for a radiology apparatus is obtained by means of an electromechanical device constituted by arms which are connected to each other and to the support table by means of powered articulations with synchronized movements of rotation. A relatively small minimum height of the order of 60 centimeters is thus obtained.

An optical distributor for deflecting a light beam in different directions comprises a single semi-reflecting mirror 30 carried by a motor-driven turntable 31. The mirror is capable of pivoting about an axis 33 when a stop 46 is withdrawn (position Z of the notch and of the stud 38) and of taking up a position 52 in which it does not intercept the light beam 14. in the other positions (X and Y), the mirror intercepts the beam 14 and deflects it in the desired directions.
