A method for controlling the movement of an X-ray source via a suspension device includes obtaining, during a movement of the suspension device along the rail, a first speed of the suspension device at the first reference point. The first reference point may correspond to a first target position. The method may also include determining whether the first speed of the suspension device at the first reference point is less than a threshold speed. In response to a result of the determination that the first speed of the suspension device at the first reference point is less than the threshold speed, the method may further include actuating a control device to move the suspension device to the first target position.

The present disclosure discloses a medical imaging device including a gantry and a first C-arm having an imaging chain. The gantry includes a first supporting arm connecting the first C-arm, a base, a second C-arm connecting the base, and a second supporting arm connecting the second C-arm. The first C-arm may be moveable along the first supporting arm and the second supporting arm may be movable along the second C-arm.

A proximity operation fluoroscopic imaging apparatus allows a retreating operation for a X-ray detection element at an arbitrarily-positioned height. The X-ray imaging is carried out using the proximity operation fluoroscopic imaging apparatus a hanging-type X-ray irradiation element, a deck unit 26, supporting a flat panel detector 13, moves to a retreating position. The deck unit 26, supports a flat panel detector 13, and enables a retreating operation in the area of a subject M side of a tower unit 25, so that such a retreating operation is feasible regardless a height-position of the deck unit 26 supports the flat panel detector 13.

A system for supporting operation of an X-ray imaging apparatus (IA) capable of assuming different imaging geometries. The system comprises an input interface (IN) for receiving a specification of a path extending at least partly into an object. A camera sampler (CS) configured to compute, for a plurality of non-ionizing radiation based cameras (OC) of the X-ray imaging apparatus (IM), a respective imaging geometry for achieving a plan view on the object along said path.

A framework for sensor-based patient treatment support. In accordance with one aspect, one or more sensors are used to acquire sensor data of one or more objects of interest. The sensor data is then automatically interpreted to generate processing results. One or more actions may be triggered based on the processing results to support treatment of a patient, including supporting medical scanning of the patient.

The present invention relates to a medical device (100) having smart handle apparatus allowing the operation of a medical device as intended by a user.

The invention relates to a computer tomography apparatus for examining a body part of a large animal, comprising a computer tomography (CT) device and a platform on which the CT device is mounted. The CT device has an annular gantry and a CT table to accommodate a body part of a large animal to be examined. The gantry is immovable relative to the platform. Relative to the platform and to the gantry the CT table is horizontally movably connected to the gantry and/or the platform in such a way that the CT table can be moved into a central opening in the annular gantry. The computer tomography apparatus further comprises a positioning device which is connected to the platform and is designed to position the platform having the mounted CT device relative to a supporting surface for a large animal. The positioning device is designed to position the platform having the mounted CT device in an operational state in such a way that during a relative movement with respect to the gantry the CT table remains stationary relative to the supporting surface.

The present invention relates to an imaging support arrangement (10), a system (50) and a method (100) for generating an X-ray image. In order to generate an X-ray image am imaging support arrangement (10) for generating an X-ray image is provided. The imaging support arrangement (10) for generating an X-ray image comprises a support structure (12), a primary supporting beam (14), a secondary supporting beam (16), a mounting arrangement (18), wherein the support structure (14) is configured to hold an image detector (22) at a first end and an X-ray source (24) at a second end with a connection line in between, on which an Iso-centre D can be located. The support structure (12) is connected to the primary supporting beam (14) in a first pivotable connection point A, and the primary supporting beam (14) is connected to the secondary supporting beam (16) in a second pivotable connection point B, and the secondary supporting beam (16) is connected to the mounting arrangement (18) in a third pivotable connection point C. The first, second and third pivotable connection points (A, B, C) and the Iso-centre D define a parallelogram. As a result, a parallelogram guidance is realized.

An X-ray CT apparatus comprises a gantry including an X-ray generator in a rotor, and processing circuitry configured to control rotation of the rotor during a first scan such that a value related to first rotational speed serving as rotational speed of the rotor at a time when the first scan is finished is brought close to a setting value related to second rotational speed serving as rotational speed of the rotor in a second scan, with respect to the first scan and the second scan performed after the first scan is performed.

An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, a moving body movable in a predetermined direction, a moving mechanism, a motor, an operating force detector configured to detect an operating force, and a controller configured or programmed to perform mode switching control to switch, based on whether or not an operation to enable manual movement of the moving body has been detected, a control mode to a torque control mode or a position control mode.
