20150320582 | SHOULDER IMMOBILIZATION DEVICE - A shoulder immobilization apparatus/device which allows simultaneous immobilization of shoulders in both anterior/posterior directions as well as superior/inferior direction using shoulder straps (belts). The straps are attached to a base board. The base board is configured to be used in conjunction with standard components including: treatment couch, head support boards, head support, thermoplastic masks, and indexing bars. The device uses only low attenuation components in the treatment area. The use of nonconductive materials makes the device suitable for use with MRI machines. | 11-12-2015 |
20150202073 | HEAD AND CERVICAL SPINE POSITION ARTICULATING DEVICE - An articulating device to position the head and spine during imaging and treatment of a patient. The device provides mechanism to lock a patient's head using a posterior head support, and anterior face mask or a nose depressor. The device is attached to a patient couch and allows for controlled movement of the head while monitoring and capturing position to provide for returning to the same position in future imaging or treatment. The device includes pitch, roll and translation mechanisms including adjustment controls as well as sensors to capture a patient's position. The device includes sensors which can feed into a controller for automated to remote control of the movement mechanisms if motors or hydraulic controllers are used. | 07-23-2015 |
20140183343 | INTERLOCKED COLLIMATORS FOR A MEDICAL LINEAR ACCELERATOR - An apparatus for detecting small field circular collimators when connected to a linear accelerator machine (LINAC). Each small field circular collimator is provided with some uniquely identifying trait depending upon its size. The adaptor of LINAC includes sensors to detect the uniquely identifying trait of the small field circular collimator. The information from the sensor about the small field circular collimator is conveyed to the LINAC to verify that the collimator is properly installed and the correct size collimator is being used. | 07-03-2014 |
20140107393 | DEVICE FOR RESTRAINT OF PATIENTS ON A TABLE - The present invention is a device for the restraint of patients on a treatment table. More specifically, the invention is designed to provide lateral side pressure on a patient in the abdomen, thorax, and hip areas during a radiation treatment. The main components of the device are paddle(s) and at least one crossbar assembly. The paddles are coupled to a crossbar assembly, which is positioned on a treatment table under the body cushion in which the patient is positioned. The paddles can be moved laterally along the crossbar such that they put lateral pressure on the cushion and the patient. | 04-17-2014 |
