摘要:
An imaging system for imaging an object, comprising a scanner; and a transport mechanism mounted to the base of the scanner, wherein the transport mechanism comprises a crawl drive for crawling along the floor supporting the imaging system so as to index the scanner relative to an object during scanning of the object.
摘要:
An anatomical imaging system comprising: a CT machine; and a transport mechanism mounted to the base of the CT machine, wherein the transport mechanism comprises a fine movement mechanism for moving the CT machine precisely, relative to the patient, during scanning.
摘要:
A mobile CT imaging system comprising a frame; a CT imaging unit mounted to the frame, wherein the CT imaging unit is adapted to scan anatomical objects and generate images of the same; a transport mechanism mounted to the frame, wherein the transport mechanism comprises a fine movement mechanism for moving the CT imaging unit precisely, relative to the patient, during scanning; an onboard networking unit mounted to the frame, wherein the on-board networking unit is adapted to connect the CT imaging unit to a workstation, hospital PACs system or other IT network without requiring the use of conventional physical cabling during the same; and an on-board power unit mounted to the frame, wherein the onboard power unit is adapted to provide the electrical power needed to operate the CT imaging unit, transport mechanism and networking unit without requiring the use of conventional physical cabling during the same.
摘要:
A method of and system for locating a targeted region in a patient uses a CT imaging subsystem and a radiotherapy subsystem arranged so the targeted region can be imaged with the imaging system and treated with a beam of therapeutic X-ray radiation using a radiotherapy subsystem. The beam of therapeutic X-rays is in a plane that is substantially fixed relative to, and preferably coplanar with, a slice plane of the CT imaging subsystem so that the targeted region can be imaged during a planning phase, and imaged and exposed to the therapeutic X-rays during the treatment phase without the necessity of moving the patient.
摘要:
An imaging system including a scanner for scanning an object and creating an image of the same; and a transport mechanism mounted to the scanner for moving the scanner, wherein the transport mechanism includes a gross movement mechanism for transporting the scanner between scanning locations; and a fine movement mechanism for moving the scanner precisely, relative to the object being scanned, during scanning of the object; wherein the gross movement mechanism comprises at least one motorized wheel.

摘要:
A mobile CT imaging system comprising: a housing having a center opening; and a CT imaging unit mounted to the housing, wherein the CT imaging unit is adapted to scan anatomical objects located within the center opening and generate images of the same, wherein the CT imaging unit comprises: a rotatable drum assembly disposed within the housing, concentric with the center opening; an X-ray tube mounted on the rotatable drum assembly and configured to emit an X-ray beam; and an X-ray detector mounted on the rotatable drum assembly in alignment with the X-ray beam; wherein the X-ray beam is disposed in an “off-center” configuration, adjacent to an entrance of the center opening. A CT imaging system comprising: a housing having a center opening larger than the head of a patient and smaller than the shoulders of a patient; and a CT imaging unit mounted to the housing, wherein the CT imaging unit is adapted to scan anatomical objects located within the center opening and generate images of the same, wherein the CT imaging unit is configured to scan substantially the full range of the anatomy placed within the center opening.
