  • Patent number: 6212251
    Abstract: A helical-scanning type of X-ray CT apparatus includes a dolly 15 and a gantry body 7 mounted on the dolly 15. The dolly 15 is capable of translation relatively to a patient 5 lying on a tabletop 3. An X-ray tube 9 and an X-ray-detector 11 opposing the X-ray tube 9 are rotatably accommodated in the gantry body 7. In operation, the helical scanning operation of the X-ray CT apparatus is carried out by combining the translation of the dolly 15 with the rotation of the X-ray tube 9.

  • Patent number: 5848126
    Abstract: A radiation computed tomography apparatus of this invention includes a couch, a top board which carries the patient and is slidably arranged on the couch, a gantry which has an opening and acquires projection data of a patient by guiding the patient carried on the top board into the opening, reconstruction section for reconstructing the tomographic image of the patient by reconstructing the projection data acquired by the gantry, and adjusting section, arranged on or near the gantry, for adjusting the photographing condition of the patient for obtaining a predetermined tomographic image of the patient.

  • Patent number: 5615430
    Abstract: A medical bed system, is provided wherein, by enabling a plurality of medical apparatus to use a common bed, various medical activities can be taken without moving a patient to another bed and thus without changing an attitude of the patient. In particular, the medical bed system includes a rotating section for rotating the bed horizontally around a predetermined central axis to position it on predetermined locations of the medical apparatuses, and an engaging section for engaging selectively the bed with each of the medical apparatuses, whereby positioning precision of the bed can be improved.
