Abstract
A system and method for X-ray diagnosis of an examination object is provided. The system includes a component that is movable relative to a stretcher for the examination object and at least one predeterminable set stop position for the component. A position ascertaining device is operative to ascertain a position of the component. A braking device is operative to brake the movable component. A control unit is connected to the position-ascertaining device and to the braking device. The braking device is activatable as a function of the position of the component relative to the stop position.
Claims18
A system for X-ray diagnosis of an examination object, the system comprising:
- a component that is manually movable relative to a support for the examination object, and
- at least one predeterminable stop position for the component,
- a position ascertaining device operative to ascertain a position of the component,
- a braking device operative to brake the manually movable component,
- a control unit connected to the position-ascertaining device and to the braking device, and
- a driving device that is operative to drive the component,
- wherein the braking device is operable to brake the manually movable component as a function of the position of the component relative to the stop position at a braked position,
- wherein the control unit is operable to determine a difference between the braked position and the stop position, and
- wherein the driving device is operable to move the component from the braked position to the stop position as a function of the difference between the braked position and the stop position.
A method for performing an X-ray diagnosis of an examination object, the method comprising:
- moving a component, in the direction of a set stop position, the component being moved manually;
- detecting a position of the component;
- braking the manually moving component as soon as the position of the component reaches a predetermined stop region around the stop position with a braking device;
- determining a deviation between the braked position to the stop position with a control unit;
- and
- moving the component to the stop position as a function of the deviation with a drive device.
A system for X-ray diagnosis of an examination object, the system comprising:
- a component that is manually movable relative to a support for the examination object, and
- at least one predeterminable stop position for the component,
- a position ascertaining device operative to ascertain a position of the component,
- a braking device operative to brake the manually movable component,
- a control unit connected to the position-ascertaining device and to the braking device, and
- a drive device operatively connected to the control unit, the drive device being operative to drive the component to the at least one predeterminable stop position,
- wherein the braking device is activatable as a function of the position of the component relative to the stop position.
