Abstract:
The embodiments are based on a positioning apparatus designed to provide assistance by supporting and/or positioning a patient on a patient support apparatus. The patient support apparatus includes a bearing unit to hold the patient and a fastening unit. The fastening unit is designed to fasten the positioning apparatus to the patient support apparatus. The bearing unit includes at least two bearing regions, where it is possible to set a position of the first bearing region in relation to a position of the at least one second bearing region.
Abstract:
A patient support apparatus configured to support a patient is provided. The patient support apparatus includes a table having a support surface to support the patient. The table includes a patient support assistance unit with at least one handle element.
Abstract:
A local coil for magnetic resonance applications includes a rigid housing that radially surrounds a substantially cylindrical examination volume. Arranged in the rigid housing is a transmitting coil, by which an excitation signal may be applied to the examination volume. An object to be examined arranged in the examination volume may be excited by the excitation signal for emitting a magnetic resonance signal. The local coil includes a size-variable structure, in which an antenna assembly for receiving the magnetic resonance signal emitted by the object to be examined is arranged. The size-variable structure is arranged in the examination volume and is connected to the rigid housing. The size-variable structure is soft and flexible.
Abstract:
A local coil arrangement and a magnetic resonance apparatus are provided for examining an examination object by magnetic resonance. A local coil arrangement includes at least a first coil unit and a second coil unit and at least a first intermediary unit. In an assembled state, the first intermediary unit is arranged between the first coil unit and the second coil unit. The first coil unit, the second coil unit and the first intermediary unit enclose at least partially an object receiving region for accommodating the examination object. The object receiving region includes a central axis. The shape and/or size of the object receiving region may be changed by relative movements of the first coil unit, of the second coil unit and of the first intermediary unit perpendicular to the central axis.
Abstract:
The present embodiments relate to a method and a local coil for a magnetic resonance tomography system. The local coil has an upper part and a lower part. The upper part and the lower part each have an inclined guide. When the upper part is positioned on the lower part, the upper part and the lower part may be displaced relative to each other along the inclined guides using an adjustment of a distance of the upper part from the lower part.
Abstract:
A shoulder local coil system for a magnetic resonance tomography system for generating magnetic resonance images of a shoulder region of a person to be examined is provided. The shoulder local coil system includes a base plate, a fixed or removable cover plate over the base plate, and a flexible local coil arranged wholly or partially movably between the base plate and the cover plate.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a securing device for securing medical accessory units in particular to a table (2) for a medical imaging apparatus, having a frame unit (3), a locking unit (5) that is designed for locking to the table (2), and an adjusting unit (4) for setting at least one locking position, in which the adjusting unit (4) has at least one guide unit (25) for a guided locking motion into the at least one locking position.
Abstract:
A flexible magnetic resonance coil apparatus, an applicator, and a method for arranging a magnetic resonance coil apparatus on an object under examination are provided. The magnetic resonance coil apparatus includes at least one coil element and at least one carrier structure. The at least one carrier structure is configured to adapt its geometric shape.
Abstract:
A shoulder coil for a magnetic resonance imaging device includes a bottom part and one or more top part elements that may be moved relative to the bottom part. The one or more top elements each have at least one coil therein.
