A radiographic system provide a simple operation for table movement where the table revolves in one direction in accordance with an input of a revolving direction from a console driving the table upward vertically when one end of the table come close to a floor surface. The present invention also includes a system where the table moves downward vertically automatically, interlocking with a revolving of the table when the revolving direction is input to the revolving direction input means. According to the present invention, the table lifted along with revolving can be revolved or moved upward with an input operation in one system. Therefore, the operation of the radiographic apparatus can be easy.

An imaging apparatus includes a patient table with a gurney and a base. The gurney can slide between two extreme positions, an electrically supplied motoreducer controlled by a control unit causing the table to slide and having a lock/unlock system of the sliding that is mechanical, independent from the electrical supply, and manually controlled by a grabbing organ actuated by a human operator. The patient table may be provided together with a gantry having a housing transparent to light for at least part of its extension, and a control unit of the radiographic apparatus. The housing or a part thereof is associated with a source of light, and the control unit, when the apparatus is electrically supplied, and/or other status conditions are determined by a status sensor, causes the light source to be illuminated and the housing to light up in its translucent parts signalling the status condition.

This X-ray phase imaging system includes a plurality of gratings including a first grating that is irradiated with X-rays from an X-ray source and a second grating that is irradiated with X-rays from the first grating. The X-ray phase imaging system includes an imaging unit that optically images a subject and one or both of the first grating and the second grating.

A patient support system includes independently adjustable end columns supporting a centrally hinged, jointed or breaking patient support structure. At least one column includes a powered rotation assembly. The patient support includes at least two sections. A coordinated drive system provides for both upwardly and downwardly breaking or jointed orientations of the two sections in various inclined and tilted positions. Cable, cantilevered and pull-rod systems are included.

A urological device include a patient table with longitudinal and broad sides, and an X-ray imaging system containing an X-ray source and an X-ray detector for detecting the X-ray radiation emitted by the X-ray source towards the patient on the patient table. A first linear drive is provided for moving the X-ray source parallel to the broad side and a second linear drive is provided for moving the X-ray detector parallel to the broad side, but in an opposite direction. A dedicated pivoting mechanism is configured to pivot the X-ray source around a first pivot axis.

The disclosure relates to an X-ray machine and a method for the operation of the X-ray machine for generation of a three-dimensional reconstruction of a body part. The method includes supplying a first X-ray capture of the body part; an automatic analysis of the first X-ray capture; an evaluation of the suitability of at least one further capture angle by the computing unit in the light of a result from the automatic analysis; setting of a second capture angle on the X-ray machine, either automatically by the computing unit or manually by an operator; a manually controlled approach to the set second capture angle by a capture unit of the X-ray machine; and capture of the second X-ray capture from the approached second capture angle by the capture unit to provide an improved method for operation of an X-ray machine for generation of a three-dimensional reconstruction of a body part.

There are provided a gantry with an opening having a central axis inclined so that the opening is directed obliquely downward, a chair disposed obliquely below the gantry, and having an inclined surface for supporting a patient M so that the central axis of the opening and a body axis A of the patient M become parallel, and a chair moving mechanism for driving at least one of the gantry and the chair to insert the patient M into the opening parallel to the central axis of the opening of the gantry. Thus, images can be picked up of the patient M in a comfortable position safely and efficiently.

An imaging system for imaging an object, the imaging system comprising: an imaging unit comprising a housing having a center opening for receiving the object to be imaged; and a patient support for supporting the object to be imaged, the patient support being pivotally mounted to the housing, wherein the patient support is configured to pivot between (i) a first, folded configuration in which the patient support is disposed close to the housing, whereby to facilitate transport of the imaging unit, and (ii) a second, unfolded configuration in which the patient support is aligned with the center opening, whereby to facilitate imaging of the object on the patient support.

The present invention relates to a smart apparatus for acquiring patient images, the smart apparatus being structured so as to integrate capabilities for acquiring two-dimensional images and three-dimensional images into a single piece of equipment, thereby allowing the expense and installation space therefor to be minimized. The smart apparatus for acquiring patient images according to the present invention comprises: a gantry having a cylindrical opening; CT X-ray tube and curved X-ray detector installed in the gantry 180 degrees apart and installed so as to be rotatable along the circumferential direction of the gantry to acquire three-dimensional images of a person being treated accommodated in the interior of the opening of the gantry by rotating around the person; two-dimensional X-ray tube and X-ray detector installed in the gantry 180 degrees apart and installed, along with the CT X-ray tube and curved X-ray detector, so as to be rotatable along the circumferential direction of the gantry to acquire two-dimensional x-ray images of a person being treated accommodated in the interior of the opening of the gantry; a rotation means for simultaneously rotating the CT X-ray tube and X-ray detector and two-dimensional X-ray tube and X-ray detector along the circumferential direction of the gantry; a couch disposed on one side of the gantry so as to be horizontally movable in and out of the opening of the gantry and on which the person to be treated is placed.

Methods, devices, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for reconstructing image are provided. In one aspect, a method of reconstructing image includes obtaining scanning data for a subject in a continuous incremental scanning of medical equipment including real crystals for detection, associating each of the real crystals with one or more virtual crystals in a virtual scanning system, determining delay random coincidence data of two virtual crystals connected by a response line in the virtual scanning system, obtaining random coincidence data by denoising the delay random coincidence data based on crystal receiving efficiency for each of the real crystals, and reconstructing an image with the scanning data by taking the random coincidence data into account.
