Abstract
A medical imaging device includes an x-ray source disposed at a first end of an arm, and an x-ray detector disposed at a second end of the arm opposite of the x-ray source. At least one of the x-ray source, the x-ray detector, and a portion of the arm are selectively adjustable with respect to the arm.
Claims33
A medical imaging device, comprising:
- an x-ray source disposed at a first end of an arm;
- and
- an x-ray detector disposed at a second end of the arm opposite of the x-ray source;
- wherein at least one of the x-ray source, the x-ray detector, and a portion of the arm are selectively adjustable with respect to the arm.
1 more element
A medical imaging device, comprising:
- an arm;
- an x-ray source rotatably connected to a first end of the arm;
- an x-ray detector rotatably connected to a second end of the arm;
- wherein at least one of the x-ray source, the x-ray detector, and a portion of the arm are selectively adjustable with respect to the arm.
1 more element
A medical imaging device, comprising:
- an x-ray source;
- and
- an x-ray detector;
- wherein the x-ray source and the x-ray detector are independent of each other, at least one of the x-ray source and the x-ray detector being selectively adjustable.
1 more element
A medical imaging device, comprising:
- a base cabinet;
- and
- an arm coupled to the base cabinet, the arm including an x-ray source and an x-ray detector disposed at opposing ends of the arm;
- wherein the x-ray source, the x-ray detector, and a portion of the arm are selectively adjustable with respect to the arm.
1 more element
A method of operating a medical imaging device, comprising:
- aligning an x-ray source disposed at a first end of an arm and an x-ray detector disposed at a second end of the arm opposite the first end of the arm, wherein x-rays emitted from the x-ray source are receivable by the x-ray detector through a space between the first end of the arm and the second end of the arm;
- adjusting at least one of the x-ray source and the x-ray detector with respect to the arm, wherein the x-ray source and the x-ray detector are out of alignment from each other;
- accessing the space between the first end of the arm and the second end of the arm;
- and
- re-aligning the x-ray source and the x-ray detector.
