Abstract:
The invention relates, in particular, to structures of dental and medical cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging apparatus. The basic construction of the apparatus includes a substantially vertically extending frame part (11) which supports via a horizontally extending support construction (12) the X-ray imaging means (14, 15) of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a patient support structure (18) which extends substantially in parallel with and is essentially of the same length as the substantially vertically extending frame part (11).

Abstract:
The disclosure provides a radiotherapy system, comprising: a bed, for supporting the patient; and a bridge, comprising one or more rolling elements for supporting the bed and allowing the bed to be moved along a surface of the bridge. The one or more rolling elements are located at respective fixed positions in the bridge.
Abstract:
The present application is directed to a method and system for restraining a patient before, during, or after surgery that increases efficiency of the surgical setup process and minimizes risk of musculoskeletal damage to the patient, particularly in surgeries requiring a patient to be in a Trendelenburg position (e.g., robotic or laparoscopic surgeries). One or more restraints can be worn by a patient prior to surgery', and may function to redistribute the patient's weight across the patient's torso to reduce strain on the patient's shoulders and back. The restraint(s) can be attached to a surgical table by way of an attachment mechanism coupled to the restraint(s) and the table. The attachment mechanism can secure the patient to the table by way of one or more straps, clips, and/or other intermediates. Optionally, the restraint(s) can fulfill other surgical needs, such as heat regulation and vascular compression.
Abstract:
A system for supporting or positioning a patient before, during, or after a medical procedure can include a platform configured to support at least a portion of a patient. A support column can be positioned beneath the platform. A base can be positioned beneath the support column and configured to support the support column. The base can include at least one drive wheel configured to contact a ground surface and move the platform with respect to the ground surface. A drive assist user interface module can be operatively connected to the at least one drive wheel. The drive assist user interface module can be configured to permit an operator of the system to selectively control movement of the at least one drive wheel. The drive assist user interface module can be part of or be attached to an attachment that includes a plate having a top surface.
Abstract:
A motion compensation system includes a plurality of RF transmitters, a plurality of direction of arrival sensors, and a positioning table which together are usable to compensate for intrafraction motion of a patient during a medical procedure. The positioning table may be a secondary table arranged next to or above a primary table such as a radiotherapy couch, allowing for repositioning of part of patient such as the head and neck relative to a remainder of the body. The motion compensation system employs a direction of arrival sensor that includes rotating antenna elements in a configuration that improves the ease and accuracy of signal processing and analysis to identify the position of an RF transmitter affixed to a patient. The repositioning table has six degrees of freedom and is safe for use in imaging and radiation intensive environments.
Abstract:
Eine Vorrichtung (10) zum Ansteuern mindestens einer Antriebseinrichtung (20) eines Operationstisches (100) umfasst eine Steuereinheit(14) zum Bereitstellen eines Ausgangssteuersignals (16) basierend auf zumindest einem ersten Eingangssteuersignal (12a). Die Vorrichtung (10) ist derart ausgebildet, dass die Antriebseinrichtung (20) mit Hilfe des Ausgangssteuersignals (16) ansteuerbar ist, und dass die Antriebseinrichtung (20) mit Hilfe eines zweiten Eingangssteuersignals (12b) unmittelbar ansteuerbar ist. Die Vorrichtung (10) ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Steuereinheit (14) das zweite Eingangssteuersignal (12b) oder ein auf dem zweiten Eingangssteuersignal (12b) basierendes Signal (216) empfängt.
Abstract:
Eine Vorrichtung (5) zur Positionserfassung beweglicher Operationstisch-Komponenten (1, 2) umfasst: - eine mehrlagige Sensorfolie (6), welche an einer ersten Operationstisch-Komponente (1) angebracht ist; - einen Schleifer (7), welcher an einerzweiten, gegenüber der ersten Operationstisch-Komponente (1) bewegbaren Operationstisch-Komponente (2) angebracht ist, wobei der Schleifer (7) ein Druckstück aufweist, welches die mehrlagige Sensorfolie (6) elastisch komprimiert; und - eine elektrische Schaltung, welche in Abhängigkeit der Position des Druckstücks (15) auf der Sensorfolie (6) ein Signal erzeugt.
Abstract:
A computer-assisted medical device includes a first articulated arm, the first articulated arm having an end effector, a first joint set, a second joint set and a control unit. The control unit configures one or more joints in the first joint set to a floating mode, detects movement to the first joint set caused by a movement of the surgical table, drives the second joint set based on the movement of the surgical table, receives a instrument motion command to move the end effector while the surgical table is moving, and moves the end effector based on the instrument motion command. In some embodiments, the instrument motion command is relative to an imaging coordinate frame. In some embodiments, the imaging coordinate frame is based on a pose of an imaging device saved prior to the movement of the surgical table.
