Abstract: A base body of a computed tomography drum is disclosed. In an embodiment, the base body includes at least the following components: a base plate, an outer ring and an inner ring. The inner ring is arranged concentrically with the outer ring. The outer ring and the inner ring are arranged on the base plate. At least two of the components are configured as separately producible components. Two of the separately producible components are connected to one another by way of at least one of: bonding, welding, riveting, clinching, clinch-bonding and/or rivet-bonding.

Abstract: A transportation apparatus configured to dock with a device to which power is supplied is provided. The transportation apparatus includes a first contact element for establishing a first contact with the device and a second contact element for establishing a second contact with the device. An apparatus for assisting in establishing the contact between the second contact element and the device is further provided in the transportation apparatus. The apparatus is operated by a motor. The apparatus is configured to provide power to the motor by supplying power via the first contact.

Abstract: A mobile patient bed includes a bench that may be moved vertically via a lifting mechanism. Vertical movement may be effected via a first, electric drive mechanism including a drive device that may be operated when connected to an energy supply. As an alternative, vertical movement may be effected via a second drive mechanism that may be actuated by the operator using a foot pedal. The drive device is a drive motor that is coupled to the lifting mechanism via a motor shaft and is coupled to the second drive mechanism via a clutch. The clutch is closed with no connection to the energy supply and is opened with connection established. The motor shaft may be driven via the second drive mechanism when the clutch is closed.

Abstract: A medical imaging system is provided. The medical imaging system includes a patient positioning table and a patient examination area that is open on at least three sides and accessible from a front side. The patient positioning table is able to be moved into the patient examination area. At least one positioning motor is arranged on a rear side and is separated from the front side by a rear wall element. The at least one positioning motor is operable to adjust the position of a framework. The patient positioning table is disposed on the framework.

Abstract: A patient support device which can be connected to patient placement devices of medical examination or treatment equipment, for example an MRI device, an X-ray machine, or of ambulances. The patient support device supports a patient during medical examination and treatment. The patient support device has a structural rigidity that is less than a minimal rigidity that enables the patient support device to be self-supporting while the patient is resting thereon. Such a patient support device can be designed in a simple manner in such a way that it can be used in MRI devices, as well as in devices of other types, and can be transferred between the devices without repositioning of the patient on different support devices.

Abstract: A medical apparatus has a support mechanism for a treatment and/or examination subject having a support plate for the treatment and/or examination subject that is adjustable at a base and is radiation-transparent in at least one region. The support plate is seated so as to be height-adjustable at the base and adjustable around three spatial axes and is seated so as to be optionally displaceable in the longitudinal direction and/or the transverse direction in floating fashion, or displaceable by means of a connectable drive device.
