Abstract
An X-ray arrangement for a medical work station includes a frame having a first frame section supporting an X-ray transmitter and a second frame section opposite the first frame section and supporting an X-ray receiver. The medical work station further includes an adjustment device configured to change a relative pose of at least one of the X-ray transmitter or the X-ray receiver relative to the frame by adjusting at least one of the pose of the X-ray transmitter at the first frame section or the pose of the X-ray receiver (at the second frame section independently of one other. In one aspect, the frame may be shaped as a C-arm.
Claims17
An X-ray arrangement for a medical work station, comprising:
- a frame having a first frame section supporting an X-ray transmitter, and having a second frame section opposite the first frame section and supporting an X-ray receiver;
- and
- an adjustment device configured to change the relative pose of the X-ray transmitter and/or the X-ray receiver relative to the frame by adjusting the pose of the X-ray transmitter at the first frame section and/or by adjusting the pose of the X-ray receiver at the second frame section, independently of one another;
- wherein the adjustment device is configured as a horizontal articulated arm robot with serial kinematics;
- and
- wherein the articulated arm robot comprises:
- a first joint comprising an annular first member and an annular disk-shaped second member coaxially and rotationally supported relative to the first member;
- and
- a second joint directly following the first joint in the serial kinematic chain, the second joint comprising an annular disk-shaped third member eccentrically arranged and rotationally supported in the annular disk-shaped second member of the first joint.
