A foldable massage chair, including a face pillow assembly for supporting a user's head, a chest pillow assembly for supporting the chest, a handrail assembly for supporting wrists, a front support piece, a seat cushion assembly, a main supporting frame, a kneeboard assembly, and back and a front supporting leg assemblies. When using this chair, it is placed in an expanded or use position, so a user may sit on the seat cushion and lean on the massage chair, completely exposing his back, waist, and hips for a masseur to massage. When the chair needs to be put away, it is possible to fold the chair into a collapsed position by folding the seat cushion assembly, front support piece, chest pillow assembly, and handrail assembly. Also, the front and back supporting leg assemblies are folded underneath and towards the main supporting frame. Consequently, the size of the entire chair decreases.

The invention relates, in particular, to features of an apparatus applicable for use in the context of dental or medical CT imaging. The apparatus comprises a two longitudinally extending frame parts 11, 21, a support construction 12 for an X-ray source 14 and an image detector 15 and a first driving mechanism 16 arranged to move them about a rotation axis 13. A patient support 18 comprising a patient support surface 184 is mechanically connected to the first of the substantially longitudinally extending frame parts 11, which extends substantially in parallel with the first longitudinally extending frame part 11 and having at, or at the proximity of its two edges 181 which extend in the same direction as the first longitudinally extending frame part 11 i) at least one support element 183 or ii) at least one connecting construction 182 for at least one support element 83, the support element 183 being an accessory designed for a patient to hold on or help the patient to be still during an imaging exposure, or to help keeping a patient be still.

A system and method according to which dental care is provided to a young child or infant using a baby dental chair, a floss dispenser, and/or a dental care apparatus. The baby dental chair is specifically designed for the needs of a young child or an infant during a dental examination. The baby dental chair includes a tower base, a seat, and a plurality of wheels. At least one wheel of the plurality of wheels has two configurations: a wheel locked configuration to prevent the baby dental chair from moving and a wheel released configuration to enable the baby dental chair to move. The baby dental chair provides a safe and secure place to examine the teeth of young children or infants during a dental examination.

A laser eye surgery system produces a treatment beam that includes a plurality of laser pulses. An optical coherence tomography (OCT) subsystem produces a source beam used to locate one or more structures of an eye. The OCT subsystem is used to sense the distance between a camera objective on the underside of the laser eye surgery system and the patient's eye. Control electronics compare the sensed distance with a pre-determined target distance, and reposition a movable patient support toward or away the camera objective until the sensed distance is at the pre-determined target distance. A subsequent measurement dependent upon the spacing between the camera objective and the patient's eye is performed, such as determining the astigmatic axis by observing the reflection of a plurality of point source LEDs arranged in concentric rings off the eye.
