The disclosure relates to a patient support device (10) that is connectable to a positioning system (12), such as a multi-joint robot (16), the patient support device (10) comprising: a patient support region (18), comprising a front area (22) which defines a support plane (S) for supporting and/or contacting a patient (P) and an underside area (23) substantially facing away from the front area (22); and a coupling region (26) that is configured to be coupled to the positioning system (12), wherein the support plane (S) at least partially extends between the coupling region (26) and the underside area (23). The disclosure further relates to a patient positioning arrangement comprising such a patient support device (10) and positioning system (12).

A patient positioning device has a robot arm and a patient receptacle held at the robot arm. The patient positioning device has a housing assembly for the robot arm. The housing assembly is provided with one or more housing units surrounding the robot arm at least partially. The one or more housing units are secured at the robot arm. The patient positioning device is provided with a shielding against ionizing radiation. At least one part of the shielding is arranged at the one or more housing units.

A patient support system includes a support beam that may translocate along an axial axis of a medical imaging system. At least a portion of the support beam may be disposed within a central bore of the medical imaging system. The patient support system also includes a patient support removably coupled to the support beam and including a backing that may support a patient during an imaging procedure and a restraint extending a longitudinal length of the backing. The restraint includes a first end coupled to the backing and a second end that may be removably coupled to the support beam, and the restraint may secure the patient support to the support beam and to restrain the patient within the patient support.

A smart bed for a radiation therapy includes a rest to which radiation is applied, a support structure having one end fixed to the ground and having four columns disposed to be spaced apart from one another, centered around the rest, four connection parts extending from one side of each of the columns and connected to each vertex of the rest, and lengthened or shortened through a linear actuator provided on one side thereof, and a controller independently controlling each of the linear actuators to implement movement of the rest, wherein rotational and translational movement of the rest is implemented such that radiation is applied to each position of an upper surface and a lower surface of the rest.
