Abstract
In a medical image diagnostic device, wherein X-Ray CT devices and PET devices are longitudinally disposed, and which has a tubular imaging part for positioning a subject who is placed on the top surface of a bed and collecting image data, an illumination part is provided for producing a suitable level of brightness to the display part, which is for providing information to the subject without having to adopt every imaging position within the tubular imaging part, and to the imaging part.
Claims11
A medical image diagnostic device with a tubular space for inserting an object into its interior, wherein the medical image diagnostic device comprises:
- an X-ray imaging detector configured to detect X-rays emitted from said object, and disposed at locations along the direction of the circumference, which are areas in the longitudinal direction of said tubular space and represent a cross-section of said tubular space;
- a radiation detector configured to detect radiation emitted from said object, and disposed at locations along the direction of the circumference, which are areas different from said X-ray imaging detector of said tubular space and represent a cross-section of said tubular space and;
- a light emitting part configured to form a display part that shows information intended for said object or an illumination part that illuminates said tubular space, said light emitting part being disposed at locations that set the light emission range to be the exteriors of said X-ray imaging detector and said radiation detector, and that are areas in the longitudinal direction of said tubular space.
