  • Patent number: 5083305
    Abstract: Disclosed is a radiology system of the mammograph type in which there is provision for a radiation controller. The invention lies in the fact that the input aperture of the detector is masked by a belt that absorbs the X-radiation except at zones, the variable dimensions of which are designed to get adapted to the different shapes of breasts. The belt is driven by a motor 24 and stops at the practitioner's command so that the appropriate zone is in correspondence with the input aperture of the detector 22.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5050200
    Abstract: Disclosed is a radiology system of the mammography type wherein there is provision for a radiation controller having a detector of X-radiation having gone through the breast to be observed, of the type having a converter of X-radiation into photon radiation and a photomultiplier tube for the amplifications of photons emitted by the converter. The invention lies in the fact that the converter is masked by a belt opaque to the photon radiation except in the zones for which variable dimensions are planned so as to get adapted to the different shapes of breasts. The belt is driven by a motor which is turned on and off at the practitioner's command, so that the appropriate zone is in correspondence with the converter.

  • Patent number: 4989227
    Abstract: The invention relates to mammographs, and more particularly to a device enabling the mammograph to adapt to different sizes of a cassette, and to displace cassettes. The device essentially comprises a sliding member which, when moved, changes the distance between holding pegs to match new lateral dimensions of a the cassette while still pressing the cassette against a reference edge of the table. In addition, the sliding member is carried on a plate member which moves in such a manner that one or other of the side edges of the cassette can be brought into alignment with the corresponding side of the table.

  • Patent number: 4715917
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of a multidetector with ionization chambers and to the multidetector obtained by this process. The partitions of the ionization chambers of the multidetector are maintained with respect to one another and transported together by means of a tool above a bath of resin to be polymerized. Following the hardening of the resin, the detector has resin bases. For containing the resin bath, the invention provides for the production of a mould cut in a solid resin block, which permits handling throughout the process without any risk of deterioration.
