Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for supporting a patient to be supported laterally on an x-ray table with a supporting element comprising a trough-like arched supporting surface and a fastening device for fastening the supporting element to the x-ray table such that the supporting surface continues a reclining surface of the x-ray table.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a patient table (40) for an x-ray system with a table top, the length of which can be optionally varied. The table top can be of a modular design, or can comprise a plurality of table segments or slats (42) depending on the type of a shutter.
Abstract:
A rotary piston x-ray tube has a piston formed by a case wall and support such that it can rotate around a rotational axis. The piston contains a cathode and an anode. To improve cooling, the anode of the rotary piston x-ray tube forms a radially-rotating section of the shell wall.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a diaphragm unit 4 or a diaphragm unit 4 and an associated x-ray emitter 1 with adjustment option for displaying an asymmetrical area under examination, with the diaphragm unit 4 being able to be tilted in accordance with the invention relative to the x-ray emitter 1, preferably by moving it on a rail system 12 attached isocentrically to the tube focus 9 on the tube housing 2 and/or the unit 1;4 made up of diaphragm unit 4 and x-ray emitter 1 being able to be tilted isocentrically to the tube focus 9 of the x-ray tube 2.
Abstract:
Reliable and at the same time simple operation of a plurality of system components using only a single control element is guaranteed by means of the combination of a control lever (10) which can be swiveled manually and a rotational control unit (11) which can be rotated manually. Translatory control motions can be executed intuitively by means of swivel movements (16) of the control lever (10) and rotatory control motions can be executed intuitively by means of rotary movements (14) of the rotational control unit (11). The embodiment of the rotational control unit (11) in the form of a ring element surrounding the control lever (10), which can be can be adjusted by raising or lowering into different operating positions, associated in each case with a specific operating function, is particularly advantageous.
Abstract:
X-ray device with a detector and an adjustable diaphragm for fading-in an examination area, whereby the detector (6) can be controlled and read-out asymmetrically and the diaphragm (8) can be moved asymmetrically.
