Abstract
An imaging and displaying system comprises an imaging unit for acquiring images of a treatment site of a subject, a display unit for displaying the images acquired by the imaging unit, and a unit-to-unit connecting device for detachably connecting the imaging unit and the display unit. The imaging unit and the display unit are spatially and movably supported. At least one of the imaging unit and the display unit is detachably attached to an arm with a unit-to-arm detachable device therebetween.
Claims27
An imaging and displaying system comprising:
- an imaging unit that images a region to be targeted of a subject to be examined;
- an image producing unit that produces an image based on data imaged by the imaging unit.
- a display unit that displays the image produced by the image producing unit;
- a support member that spatially, movably, and mechanically supports at least one of the imaging unit and the display unit;
- and
- a unit-to-unit connecting device that detachably, mechanically, and directly connects the imaging unit and the display unit with each other such that the support member spatially movably supports the imaging unit and the display unit in a state where the imaging unit and the display units are mechanically unified with each other.
An imaging and displaying system comprising:
- an imaging unit configured for imaging a region to be targeted of a subject to be examined, the imaging unit having a housing;
- an image producing unit that produces an image based on data imaged by the imaging unit;
- a display unit configured for displaying the image produced by the image producing unit, the display unit having a housing;
- a unit-to-unit connecting device detachably, mechanically, and directly configured to connect the imaging unit and the display unit with each other;
- a first arm spatially movably configured for supporting the imaging unit;
- a second arm spatially movably configured for supporting the display unit;
- and
- at least one pillar member configured for supporting the first and second arms,
- wherein the unit-to-unit connecting device comprises
- a first attaching/detaching part secured on the housing of the imaging unit,
- a second attaching/detaching part secured on the housing of the display unit, and
- a securing member configured to securely couple the first attaching/detaching part and the second attaching/detaching part with each other.
