Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090144902 | MEDICAL EXAMINATION TABLE - A medical examination table for accommodating a patient is provided. The medical examination table includes a table top. The table includes at least one measuring device which measures a tilting of the table top induced by weight load. The value of the measured tilt is used for automatic tilt compensation of the table top or for setting a predefinable tilt of the table top. Load-dependent deformations of the medical examination table, caused for example by the weight of the patient, can be automatically corrected. | 06-11-2009 |
20100278310 | MULTI-LEAF COLLIMATOR WITH ROTATORY ELECTROMECHANICAL MOTOR AND OPERATING METHOD - Multi-leaf collimators have a guide frame ( | 11-04-2010 |
20100281983 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR POSITION DETERMINATION - An apparatus for determining a distance includes a converter element that generates n acoustic surface wave, a surface that feeds over at least part of the acoustic surface wave to a surface having a reflection point, and a processor that determines a distance between the apparatus and the reflection point from the propagation time of the acoustic surface wave. The converter element registers the acoustic surface wave reflected at the reflection point. | 11-11-2010 |
20120104283 | IRRADIATION SYSTEM - The present embodiments relate to a system for irradiating a patient. The system for irradiating the patient includes a horizontal guide and a vertical guide. The vertical guide is connected horizontally-adjustably to the horizontal guide. The system also includes a support element that is attached vertically-adjustably to the horizontal guide and a radiation unit including a radiation source. The radiation unit is arranged on the support element. The irradiation system may be expanded by three further degrees of freedom. | 05-03-2012 |
20120205555 | HOLDING ARM AND ARRANGEMENT FOR SUPPORTING DIAGNOSTIC IRRADIATION IN RADIATION THERAPY APPLICATIONS - The present embodiments relate to a holding arm for a detector that may be positioned on a first arm end or a diagnostic beam source that may be positioned on the first arm end. The present embodiments also relate to a radiation therapy arrangement with the holding arm. The holding arm may be positioned in a region of a second arm end in an emitter head region of a radiation therapy system and is essentially curved. | 08-16-2012 |
20120213332 | RADIATION THERAPY SYSTEM WITH A TELESCOPIC ARM - A radiation therapy system includes a radiation therapy module having a cantilever arm, from which a therapeutic treatment beam is directable onto an object. The cantilever arm is secured on a kinematic control such that the cantilever arm may be rotated about an isocenter such that the therapeutic treatment beam may be directed from different angles onto the isocenter. The radiation therapy system includes an X-ray imaging device with at least one X-ray source and an X-ray detector. The X-ray source is configured as a single-tank X-ray generator and arranged in the cantilever arm such that X-radiation may be directed in a direction of the therapeutic treatment beam. A first end of a first telescopic arm is arranged rotatably on the cantilever arm. The X-ray detector is arranged on a second end of the first telescopic arm such that a diagnostic X-ray image of the object may be produced. | 08-23-2012 |
20120213334 | RADIATION GENERATION UNIT - The present embodiments relate to a radiation generation unit for a therapy system. The radiation generation unit has a radiation source and support components for the radiation source. The radiation generation unit includes a power source and has a mechanical interface, with which the radiation generation unit may be attached to a stand. Degrees of freedom of movement may easily be implemented using a corresponding movement of the radiation generation unit. | 08-23-2012 |
20120307973 | RADIOTHERAPY SYSTEM - The present embodiments relate to a radiotherapy system including a radiotherapy module and at least one X-ray imaging module. The radiotherapy module and the X-ray imaging module may be moved independently of each other. | 12-06-2012 |
20130077444 | DEVICE AND METHOD TO DETERMINE THE POSITION OF A COMPONENT THAT IS MOVEABLE IN A LINEAR MANNER ALONG AN ASSIGNED AXIS - A device and a method to determine a position of a component that is moveable in a linear manner along an assigned axis are provided. A reference element that extends in a direction of the assigned axis is assigned to the component. The component may be brought into mechanical contact with the reference element. A respective piezo transducer is arranged on the reference element to generate and receive vibrations in a material used for the reference element. | 03-28-2013 |
20150007664 | Panel with Strain Gauges for Measuring Deformation Information - A panel includes a plurality of integrated strain gauges for measuring deformation information relating to the panel. The strain gauges are arranged parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the panel and have at least two different lengths. | 01-08-2015 |
