  • Biplane X-ray system
    Patent number: 7594751
    Abstract: In a biplane X-ray system, a robot is used for moving at least a pair comprising an X-ray radiation source and an X-ray detector. The robot can be a buckling arm robot bearing an X-ray C-arm. It is also possible for the X-ray radiation source and X-ray detector each to be suspended from the ceiling of the room by means of robot arms.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 15, 2008
    Date of Patent: September 29, 2009
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Albert Grebner, Klaus Klingenbeck-Regn, Winfried Lurz, Stefan Sattler, Manfred Schönborn
  • Medical system having a C-arm
    Patent number: 7591589
    Abstract: The present intervention relates to a medical diagnosis or intervention system with a radiation source, a radiation detector, and a C-arm as a component carrier, to which the radiation source and the radiation detector are fastened. The distance between the radiation source and the radiation detector can be changed by means of a linear guide. The C-arm is fastened to an articulated arm of a robot and the linear guide is arranged in the vicinity of the fastening point of the C-arm on the articulated arm.

  • X-ray device
    Patent number: 7500784
    Abstract: The invention relates to an X-ray device, in which an X-ray source and an X-ray detector are attached, in an opposed arrangement oriented toward a rotational axis, to a common holder capable of rotating about the rotational axis. To simplify the design of the X-ray device, it is proposed that the holder is attached to the hand of a robot displaying six axes of rotation.

  • Medical examination or intervention device
    Publication number: 20090022275
    Abstract: A medical examination or intervention device that includes at least one component, in particular a C-arm, that can be moved under a user's control via a manual control device, as well as a collision monitoring device embodied for ascertaining an imminent collision and/or one having already occurred, with the control device having a haptic indicating means, controlled by the collision monitoring device, for indicating an imminent component collision and/or one having already occurred.
