Abstract
This invention provides an X-ray CT apparatus which can be mounted in a motor vehicle, trailer, or container, including locking mechanisms for locking at least some of the movable portions of the X-ray CT apparatus, detectors for detecting the locking/unlocking states of the locking mechanisms, and a notifying unit for representing the states of the locking mechanisms on the basis of outputs from the detectors. Collision of an unlocked movable portion with its periphery during traveling can be avoided.
Claims21
An X-ray CT apparatus which can be mounted in a motor vehicle, trailer, or container, comprising:
- a locking mechanism unit for locking at least one of movable portions of the X-ray CT apparatus;
- detectors for detecting locking/unlocking states of said locking mechanism unit;
- and
- a notifying unit for representing the states of said locking mechanism unit on the basis of outputs from said detectors.
An X-ray CT apparatus which can be mounted in a motor vehicle, trailer, or container, comprising:
- locking mechanisms for locking at least some of movable portions of the X-ray CT apparatus;
- detectors for detecting locking states of said locking mechanisms;
- and
- an output unit for outputting a moving inhibit signal when even one locking mechanism is not in the locking state.
An X-ray CT apparatus which is mounted in a motor vehicle, trailer, or container, comprising:
- locking mechanisms for respectively locking gantry rotation of the X-ray CT apparatus, gantry tilt, top plate slide of a bed, elevation of the bed, a keyboard, and a mouse;
- detectors for detecting locking/unlocking states of said locking mechanisms;
- a display for displaying the states of all said locking mechanisms on the basis of outputs from said detectors;
- and
- an output unit for outputting a moving inhibit signal on the basis of outputs from said detectors when even one of said locking mechanisms for gantry rotation, gantry tilt, top plate slide of the bed, and elevation of the bed is not locked.
An X-ray CT apparatus which can be mounted in a motor vehicle, trailer, or container, comprising:
- an input device for inputting a gantry tilt angle of the X-ray CT apparatus and a top plate slide distance of a bed;
- and
- an output unit for outputting a message which prompts re-input of the gantry tilt angle when the input gantry tilt angle exceeds an allowable limit set smaller than a tiltable limit of a tilt mechanism, and outputting a message which prompts re-input of the top plate slide distance when the input top plate slide distance exceeds an allowable limit set shorter than a movable limit of a slide mechanism.
An X-ray CT apparatus which can be mounted in a motor vehicle, trailer, or container, comprising:
- an input device for inputting a gantry tilt angle of the X-ray CT apparatus;
- and
- an output unit for outputting a message which prompts re-input of the gantry tilt angle when the input gantry tilt angle exceeds an allowable limit set smaller than a tiltable limit of a tilt mechanism.
An x-ray CT apparatus which can be mounted in a motor vehicle, trailer, or container, comprising:
- an input device for inputting a top plate slide distance of a bed;
- and
- an output unit for outputting a message which prompts re-input of the top plate slide distance when the input top plate slide distance exceeds an allowable limit set shorter than a movable limit of a slide mechanism.
An X-ray CT apparatus which can be mounted in a motor vehicle, trailer, or container, comprising:
- an input device for inputting an exposure condition of the X-ray CT apparatus;
- and
- an output unit for outputting a message which prompts re-input of the exposure condition when power consumption corresponding to the exposure condition exceeds an allowable limit set smaller than a maximum capacity of a power supply device.
A motor vehicle which contains an X-ray CT apparatus, comprising:
- locking mechanisms for locking at least some of movable portions of the X-ray CT apparatus;
- detectors for detecting locking/unlocking states of said locking mechanisms;
- and
- a notifying unit for representing the states of said locking mechanisms on the basis of outputs from said detectors.
A trailer which contains an X-ray CT apparatus, comprising:
- locking mechanisms for locking at least some of movable portions of the X-ray CT apparatus;
- detectors for detecting locking/unlocking states of said locking mechanisms;
- and
- a notifying unit for representing the states of said locking mechanisms on the basis of outputs from said detectors.
A container which contains an X-ray CT apparatus, comprising:
- locking mechanisms for locking at least some of movable portions of the X-ray CT apparatus;
- detectors for detecting locking states of said locking mechanisms;
- and
- a notifying unit for representing the states of said locking mechanisms on the basis of outputs from said detectors.
