Abstract
A head-holder support for attaching a medical head-holder to a patient table is provided that has a rigid base body, an adjustable and lockable head-holder interface at the base body, which is adapted to adjustably couple the head-holder to the base body by providing at least three degrees of freedom for the spatial relative position between the head-holder and the base body, wherein the at least three degrees of freedom are lockable so as to establish a rigid coupling between the head-holder and the base body, and at least one robotic arm interface at the base body, which is adapted to provide a rigid coupling between a robotic arm and the base body.
Claims19
A head-holder support for attaching a medical head-holder to a patient table, the head-holder support comprising:
- a rigid base body;
- and
- a mounting device having two separate brackets extending from the base body, wherein the two separate brackets are adapted to receive two correspondingly formed side-rails of the patient table for mounting the base body to the patient table,
- wherein the base body comprises:
- an adjustable and lockable head-holder interface at the base body, which is adapted to adjustably couple the head-holder to the base body by providing at least three degrees of freedom for a spatial relative position between the head-holder and the base body, wherein the at least three degrees of freedom are lockable so as to establish a rigid coupling between the head-holder and the base body;
- and
- at least one robotic arm interface at the base body, which is adapted to provide a rigid coupling between a robotic arm and the base body,
- wherein the base body represents a single structural component connecting between the head-holder interface and the at least one robotic arm interface for attaching the head-holder and the robotic arm, respectively.
