20080197304 | Medical device - An object of the invention is to provide a medical device which can perform treatment and diagnosis without causing a sense of unease to the patient. The invention includes a substantially ring-shaped support frame provided in such a manner that a central axis through which an isocenter passes is disposed substantially horizontally; a substantially ring-shaped moving gantry which slides relative to the support frame and which has an opening at the isocenter side thereof; a radiation emitter configured to emit a beam towards the isocenter; and a protective cover which covers the radiation emitter and an inner circumferential side of the moving gantry and which moves together with the moving gantry. | 08-21-2008 |
20080290302 | Suspension System and Scanning Method - A method and apparatus for performing a radiation scan of a structure involve arranging a source of penetrating radiation and a radiation detector at opposed ends of a radiation path through the structure, oriented in such a way that the source emits radiation along the path through the structure and the detector is capable of detecting the radiation after it has passed through the structure and monitoring the radiation emitted from the source that is detected by the detector. At least one continuous loop of a cable is mounted on the structure between at least two fixed locations on the structure so that the cable is movable along its length relative to the structure, and the at least one of the source of penetrating radiation and the radiation detector are fixed to the cable. | 11-27-2008 |
20090057582 | DOCKING STAND FOR ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENT - An analytical instrument may be docked in a stand. The stand provides electrical power, cooling, gas to purge air from an analytical gap within the instrument and/or other supplies or services to the instrument. The stand contains a contactless memory, such as an RF-ID tag, which stores information about the supplies and/or services the stand is capable of providing to the instrument. The instrument reads the stand's contactless memory and automatically sets operational parameters of the instrument in accordance with the supplies and/or services the stand is capable of providing. Thus, the instrument may automatically operate in an enhanced mode, such as at a higher x-ray beam power, as a result of being mounted in the stand. | 03-05-2009 |
20090127481 | Mounting arrangement - This invention provides a method of mounting cylindrical electrodes in the geometry of a miniature electrostatic quadrupole, which can act as a quadrupole mass filter or a quadrupole ion guide, or be used in a linear quadrupole ion trap. The electrodes are mounted in pairs on microfabricated supports, which are formed from conducting parts on an insulating substrate. The supports include a suspended flexure system to relieve strains caused by mismatch between the thermal expansion coefficients of the electrodes and the substrate. A complete quadrupole is constructed from two such supports, which are spaced apart by further conducting spacers. | 05-21-2009 |
20090189098 | Cradle for use with radiation conversion device - A cradle for use with a radiation conversion device includes a cradle for carrying out charging of a radiation conversion device, the cradle being disposed in the vicinity of an image capturing apparatus which captures a radiation image of a subject, the radiation conversion device detecting radiation that has passed through the subject and converting the radiation into image information. The cradle includes a charging processor for carrying out charging with respect to a battery mounted in the radiation conversion device, an image information acquisition unit for acquiring the image information from the radiation conversion device, a correction information generating unit for generating correction information with respect to the radiation conversion device using the acquired image information, and a correction information memory for storing the generated correction information in association with the radiation conversion device. | 07-30-2009 |
20100200780 | Radiation detector stand - A radiation detector stand has a first support having a plurality of first trenches to which a plurality of radiation detectors for detecting a radiation are inserted, and a second support arranged in parallel to the first support. The first trenches are arranged at a predetermined interval corresponding to an interval of arranging the radiation detectors. The second support has a plurality of second trenches to which the radiation detectors are inserted, and the second trenches are arranged at the predetermined interval. | 08-12-2010 |
20100230620 | Achromatic and Uncoupled Medical Gantry - A medical gantry that focus the beam from the beginning of the gantry to the exit of the gantry independent of the rotation angle of the gantry by keeping the beam achromatic and uncoupled, thus, avoiding the use of collimators or rotators, or additional equipment to control the beam divergence, which may cause beam intensity loss or additional time in irradiation of the patient, or disadvantageously increase the overall gantry size inapplicable for the use in the medical treatment facility. | 09-16-2010 |
20100243924 | Radiation imaging apparatus - A supporting/moving section for supporting and moving a device to predetermined positions at which radiation imaging is performed is prepared. An operating portion is provided for manipulating the movement of the device supported by the supporting/moving means. A detecting section outputs detection signals, which are obtained by detecting external forces which are applied to the operating portion. A control section controls the supporting/moving means to move the device such that the movement tracks target values for movement, which are determined from the detection signals. During manipulation of the operating portion, a unique oscillation frequency measuring section executes measurements to obtain a unique oscillation frequency of the device. A unique oscillation attenuating section attenuates signal components, which are included in control signals output by the control means to control the supporting/moving means and cause the movement of the device to fluctuate at the unique oscillation frequency, in real time. | 09-30-2010 |

20110006230 | MEDICAL DEVICE HAVING A COLLISION PROTECTION APPARATUS - A medical device includes a moving gantry, on which a radiation source is arranged, and a collision-protection apparatus for preventing a patient from colliding with the moving gantry. The gantry is operable to be moved around a patient-positioning apparatus. The collision-protection apparatus can be configured as a mechanical collision-protection apparatus that is operable to be positioned between the patient and the moving gantry. The collision-protection apparatus can also be configured as a collision-monitoring apparatus that detects the crossing of a predefined volume by an object, the collision-monitoring apparatus having a control apparatus that controls the motion of the gantry as a function of whether a crossing of the volume has or has not been detected. | 01-13-2011 |
