  • Movement control for a mobile x-ray system
    Patent number: 8480303
    Abstract: A mobile x-ray device that is operable to be moved for a change in position and is operable to be controlled and braked during movement is provided. A handle is arranged on the x-ray device, and the handle is operable to both control and brake the mobile x-ray device. The combination of control and braking in a handle results in improved manageability and allows for a more compact design.

  • C-ARM X-RAY MACHINE WITH COUNTERBALANCE
    Publication number: 20120213338
    Abstract: A C-arm X-ray machine includes a C-arm that is rotatable about an orbital axis running perpendicular to a C-arm plane. The C-arm includes an X-ray source and an X-ray detector. An overall center of gravity of the C-arm, the X-ray source, and the X-ray detector exerts a first torque on the C-arm. A mass motionally coupled to the C-arm via a rotatable contour disk produces a second torque compensating the first torque.

  • MOBILE MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPY APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20110069820
    Abstract: A mobile medical diagnostic or therapy apparatus has at least one Bowden cable element via which the travel movement of the diagnostic or therapy apparatus is controlled. The use of one or more Bowden cable elements allows them to be placed relatively freely in the mobile diagnostic or therapy apparatuses and they require very little space.
