A cleaning unit for cleaning a housing of a medical imaging apparatus surrounding a patient receiving area, including at least one cleaning element, wherein the at least one cleaning element has an annular carrier structure, and a diameter of the cleaning element comprises at least one value of a diameter of the housing surrounding the patient receiving area.

To provide a technology that can easily acquire body weight information of a patient. A processing part that deduces the body weight of a patient based on a camera image of the patient lying on a table of a CT device, including a generating part that generates an input image based on the camera image, and a deducing part that deduces the body weight of the patient when the input image is input into a learned model. The learned model is generated by a neural network executing learning using a plurality of learning images C1 to Cn generated based on a plurality of camera images, and a plurality of correct answer data G1 to Gn corresponding to the plurality of learning images C1 to Cn, where each of the plurality of correct answer data G1 to Gn represents a body weight of a human included in a corresponding learning image.

A patient transfer system (10) for an imaging device (1) comprises: a bridge (12) disposed in a bore (5) of the imaging device; a bed (20) disposed adjacent the imaging device and having a bed extension (22) extending underneath the bridge; and a bed support pedestal (24) providing motorized height adjustment of the bed. Motorized operation of the bed support pedestal to raise the bed also lifts the bridge using the bed extension which extends underneath the bridge.

An electromagnetic tomography system for gathering measurement data pertaining to a human head includes an image chamber unit, a control system, and a housing. The image chamber unit includes an antenna assembly defining a horizontally-oriented imaging chamber and including an array of antennas arranged around the imaging chamber. The antennas include at least some transmitting antennas and some receiving antennas. The control system causes the transmitting antennas to transmit a low power electromagnetic field that is received by the receiving antennas after passing through a patient's head in the imaging chamber. A data tensor is produced that may be inversed to reconstruct a 3D distribution of dielectric properties within the head and to create an image. The housing at least partially contains the antenna assembly and has a front entry opening into the imaging chamber. The head is inserted horizontally through the front entry opening and into the imaging chamber.

The disclosed system uses medical imaging and live imaging on a patient’s non-rigid tissue structures and increases preciseness and reliability by shaping the patient’s body during surgery so that the outer shape of the patient’s body during surgery is identical to the outer shape of the body during imaging. The processing unit will precisely overlay a scan image (or an image or a graphical representation derived from several scan images) and a live image acquired during surgery for enhancing a surgeon’s understanding and orientation during surgery.

A hospital bed may include a bed frame, a first bed board and an auxiliary component. The first bed board is connected to the bed frame. The auxiliary component may include a connecting frame, a first moving and supporting mechanism and a second bed board. The connecting frame is detachably connected to the first bed board. The first moving and supporting mechanism is connected to the connecting frame. The second bed board is connected to the first moving and supporting mechanism and can carry an object along the bearing direction. The second bed board is arranged on one side of the first bed board along the bearing direction. The first moving and supporting mechanism can drive the second bed board to move relative to the first bed board along an adjustment direction, where the adjustment direction is perpendicular to the bearing direction.

A patient support apparatus comprises a plurality of load cells, a frame supported on the load cells, a mattress, a vibration sensor, and a control system. The mattress includes a plurality of inflatable zones positioned on the frame, the mattress and frame cooperating to direct any patient load through the mattress and frame to the load cells. The control system includes a controller operable to receive a separate signal from each of the plurality of load cells and the vibration sensor and process the signals to identify motion of the patient.

A magnetic resonance apparatus, for acquiring magnetic resonance data from a person who is asleep, includes a person support apparatus to provide a sleeping place; an acquisition arrangement including a radiofrequency coil arrangement for transmitting excitation pulses and for receiving magnetic resonance signals; and a controller, designed to operate the acquisition arrangement according to a magnetic resonance sequence for acquiring a magnetic resonance dataset from a region under examination of the person. The magnetic resonance apparatus includes a main magnetic field of strength less than 20 mT, in particular less than 10 mT, and the controller includes an acquisition unit for acquiring a magnetic resonance dataset via a prolonged magnetic resonance sequence having a total acquisition duration of more than one hour.

A magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus is provided. The MR apparatus may include at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to obtain an operating state of the MR apparatus; and select, from two or more power supply devices, a power supply device for supplying power for at least one coil of the MR apparatus according to the operating state of the MR apparatus. The at least one processor may be configured to obtain, through a relay component connected to a coil section, motion information of at least one component of the coil section; and generate, based on the motion information, control instructions for adjusting communication parameters of a first directional communication module of the coil section and a second directional communication module of the relay component.

A medical imaging device, such as a computed tomography device and/or a magnetic resonance device, includes at least one movable component. The at least one movable component can include a patient couch, and the medical image device can further include an operating device for controlling the operation of the at least one component. The operating device can include a touch-sensitive and force-sensitive interface (e.g. touchscreen display) having at least one touch sensor and at least one force sensor that measure the strength of a touch.
