Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080279333 | Angiography device and associated recording method with a mechanism for collision avoidance - The present invention involves an angiography device for examining vessels of patients having an x-ray emitter and an associated detector, having an image processing unit, an image display unit, a control unit, a collision computer and sensors. The sensors, which are fastened to the angiography device, are designed to scan the outer dimensions of the patient prior to the actual examination and during the examination. The data obtained in this way can be fed into a memory of the collision computer and the system is controllable by a software of the collision computer such that the movement of the system when the system and patient become too close can be automatically slowed down or completely stopped by means of a the control unit. | 11-13-2008 |
20080279340 | Medical system having a C-arm - The present intervention relates to a medical diagnosis or intervention system with a radiation source, a radiation detector, and a C-arm as a component carrier, to which the radiation source and the radiation detector are fastened. The distance between the radiation source and the radiation detector can be changed by means of a linear guide. The C-arm is fastened to an articulated arm of a robot and the linear guide is arranged in the vicinity of the fastening point of the C-arm on the articulated arm. | 11-13-2008 |
20090018701 | Medical diagnosis and/or intervention device - On a medical diagnosis and/or intervention device having a movable component, collision sensors are to be arranged without the cabling outlay becoming too high. This is made possible by the collision sensors being capable of sending signals wirelessly. The voltage supply can also be provided wirelessly along a section by using e.g. a slip ring. | 01-15-2009 |
20090022275 | Medical examination or intervention device - A medical examination or intervention device that includes at least one component, in particular a C-arm, that can be moved under a user's control via a manual control device, as well as a collision monitoring device embodied for ascertaining an imminent collision and/or one having already occurred, with the control device having a haptic indicating means, controlled by the collision monitoring device, for indicating an imminent component collision and/or one having already occurred. | 01-22-2009 |
20090028290 | Biplane X-ray system - In a biplane X-ray system, a robot is used for moving at least a pair comprising an X-ray radiation source and an X-ray detector. The robot can be a buckling arm robot bearing an X-ray C-arm. It is also possible for the X-ray radiation source and X-ray detector each to be suspended from the ceiling of the room by means of robot arms. | 01-29-2009 |
20120188187 | Operating unit, medical device and method for operating said unit - An operating unit for a medical device is proposed. The operating unit has at least one display, at least one transparent, touch-sensitive first input field, and at least one transparent, touch-sensitive second input field. The at least one second input field is disposed between the at least one display and the at least one first input field. At least one device provides a haptically perceivable feedback after successful operation of the operating unit. | 07-26-2012 |
20120236999 | X-RAY APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE MOVEMENT OF AN X-RAY APPARATUS - An X-ray apparatus is provided. The Xpray apparatus has a C-arm on which an X-ray source and an X-ray detector can be mounted opposite one another, at least one actuator for positioning the C-arm relative to a patient table, and a control device for controlling the actuator. The X-ray apparatus includes at least one sensor which detects a deformation of the C-arm at a first position of the C-arm and converts it into an output signal, the deformation of the C-arm being influenceable by a force exerted by an operator and applied directly or indirectly at a second position on the C-arm. The control device influences the actuator as a function of the output signal of the sensor. A method for controlling the movement of an X-ray apparatus is also described. | 09-20-2012 |
20130083894 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE MOVEMENT OF AN X-RAY APPARATUS AND X-RAY SYSTEM - A method for controlling a movement of an x-ray apparatus is provided. The x-ray apparatus has a C-arm with an x-ray source and an x-ray detector disposed opposite one another, an actuator for positioning the C-arm relative to an examination region of an examination object supported on a support facility, a control facility for controlling the x-ray source and the x-ray detector and the actuator, and an operating facility with a display apparatus and an operating unit. The display apparatus displays an image representing a part of the examination object and a target location of the C-arm being determined as a function of an input at the operating unit. The target location has a target position and a target alignment of the C-arm. A controlled variable of the actuator is determined and supplied to the control facility for controlling the actuator. | 04-04-2013 |
