Abstract
An X-ray aiming ring apparatus includes an aiming ring defining an opening, and a connector including a first extremity defining an inlet, a second extremity defining an outlet, and an X-ray beam channel through the connector from the inlet to the outlet. The connector extends outward to the first extremity from the second extremity connected to the aiming ring, the X-ray beam channel is open to the opening by the outlet, and the first extremity is configured to connect mechanically to an X-ray machine position-indicating tube having an open discharge end and arranged about an X-ray beam centerline, to open the X-ray beam channel to the open discharge end by the inlet and axially align the open discharge end, the inlet, the X-ray beam channel, and the outlet along the X-ray beam centerline.
Claims18
An X-ray aiming ring apparatus, comprising:
- an aiming ring including a body with a first surface and a second surface each extending radially outward from a peripheral extremity defining an opening through the aiming ring from the first surface to the second surface;
- and
- a connector including a hollow body with a first extremity defining an inlet, a second extremity defining an outlet, and an X-ray beam channel through the hollow body from the inlet to the outlet, the hollow body extending outward to the first extremity from the second extremity inserted into the opening through the first surface and connected releasably to the aiming ring, the X-ray beam channel open to the opening by the outlet, and the first extremity configured to connect mechanically to an X-ray machine position-indicating tube having an open discharge end and arranged about an X-ray beam centerline, to open the X-ray beam channel to the open discharge end by the inlet and axially align the open discharge end, the inlet, the X-ray beam channel, and the outlet along the X-ray beam centerline.
An X-ray aiming ring setup, comprising:
- an aiming ring including a body with a first surface and a second surface each extending radially outward from a peripheral extremity defining an opening through the aiming ring from the first surface to the second surface;
- and
- a connector including a hollow body with a first extremity defining an inlet, a second extremity defining an outlet, and an X-ray beam channel through the hollow body from the inlet to the outlet, the hollow body extending outward to the first extremity from the second extremity inserted into the opening through the first surface and connected releasably to the aiming ring, the X-ray beam channel open to the opening by the outlet, and the first extremity connected mechanically to an X-ray machine position-indicating tube having an open discharge end and arranged about an X-ray beam centerline, opening the X-ray beam channel to the open discharge end by the inlet and axially aligning the open discharge end, the inlet, the X-ray beam channel, and the outlet along the X-ray beam centerline.
