    摘要: A base for a mobile X-ray imaging system comprises a carriage, a mounting structure mounted to the carriage and that movably holds an imaging device, a wheel base, and a controller. The wheel base comprises at least three wheels mounted to the carriage to be pivotable around a vertical pivot axis and to rotate around a horizontal wheel axis. At least two of the wheels form rearside wheels and at least one of the wheels forms a frontside wheel. Each rearside wheel is independently steerable in its orientation around the vertical pivot axis by a pivot actuator. Each rearside wheel is independently drivable around its horizontal wheel axis by a drive actuator to move the base relative to the floor. The controller steers and drives the rearside wheels.

    摘要: A support arrangement for generating an X-ray image is provided. The arrangement includes a support structure configured to hold an image detector at a first end and an X-ray source at a second end, with a connection line in between on which an Iso-centre is located. The support structure connects to a primary supporting beam in a first pivotable connection point; the primary supporting beam connects to a secondary supporting beam in a second pivotable connection point; and the secondary supporting beam connects to a mounting arrangement in a third pivotable connection point. A rhombus shape is defined by: (i) a connection line between the first and second pivotable connection points; (ii) a connection line between the second and third pivotable connection points; (iii) a connection line between the third pivotable connection point and the Iso-centre; and (iv) a connection line between the Iso-centre and the first pivotable connection point.

    摘要: The present invention relates to mobile X-ray imaging. In order to provide a mobile display system for X-ray imaging with improved space requirements, a mobile medical imaging viewing station (14) is provided. The mobile medical imaging viewing station comprises a mobile support stand (30), a display device (32) movably mounted to the support stand, and a docking arrangement (34). The display device is movable to provide adapted positioning of the display device in relation to the mobile support stand. The docking arrangement comprises a docking interface attached to the support stand. The docking arrangement is configured to interact with a counter-interface of a mobile medical X-ray imaging station for docking the mobile medical imaging viewing station to a mobile X-ray imaging station for at least transport purposes. The mobile support stand is provided with wheels (38) that are retractable when the docking to a mobile medical X-ray imaging station is provided.
