Estimating the term…
The invention relates to radiographic equipment comprising a height-adjustable board (1), a C-shaped arch (3), disposed transversally to the greater dimension (D) of the board (1), said board being housed within the internal space defined between the two free extremities (3′, 3″) of the arch (3). The arch (3) is slidingly mounted on a column (4) by means of a connecting element (5) in such a way that as the arch (3) rotates around an imaginary rotational axis (13) it causes the connecting element (5) to slide or roll throughout the extension of the arch (3). It further comprises a rail (12) extending parallel to the greater dimension of the board (1), on which the column (4) rests. The arch (3) features at its lower extremity (3′) an x-ray receiver (6) and at its upper extremity (3″) an x-ray emission assembly (7).
Multi-purpose equipment for radiography, tomography and fluoroscopy, characterised in that it comprises:
The multi-purpose equipment for radiography, tomography and fluoroscopy, as claimed in any of the preceding claims, characterised in that the “flat panel” or receiver is configured to take several sequential photographs, enabling the performance of real-time fluoroscopy.
The multi-purpose equipment for radiography, tomography and fluoroscopy, as claimed in any of the preceding claims, characterised in that the connecting element (5) is a roller bearing or other device.
The multi-purpose equipment for radiography, tomography and fluoroscopy, as claimed in any of the preceding claims, characterised in that the board (1) comprises height-adjustable legs (2).
The multi-purpose equipment for radiography, tomography and fluoroscopy, as claimed in any of the preceding claims, characterised in that the board (1) is a floating board.
The multi-purpose equipment for radiography, tomography and fluoroscopy, as claimed in any of the preceding claims, characterised in that the collimator is asymmetric, comprising a number of blinds which may move independently and asymmetrically as required, in order to prevent the irradiation of undesired areas.
The multi-purpose equipment for radiography, tomography and fluoroscopy, as claimed in any of the preceding claims, characterised in that it includes a screen or monitor (10) for the viewing of the images captured.
The multi-purpose equipment for radiography, tomography and fluoroscopy, as claimed in any of the preceding claims, characterised in that the arch features means enabling its rotation with regard to a horizontal axis (15) passing through the point of attachment to the column (4), and in that the column is displaced or rotated in such a way that the rotation of the arch (3) does not interfere with the table.
Multi-purpose equipment for radiography, tomography and fluoroscopy comprising:
