Abstract: One or more example embodiments relates to a patient couch for positioning and/or supporting a patient for radiotherapy, comprising a couch board section to accommodate the patient; a base section attachable to a floor; a roll-pitch assembly between the base section and the couch board section, the roll-pitch assembly configured to pivot the couch board section about at least one of a roll axis or a pitch axis; and a cover unit forming a shell cover and comprising at least two cover shells, wherein one of the at least two cover shells forms a roll cover shell and another of the at least two cover shells forms a pitch cover shell, the roll cover shell is configured to compensate a roll movement of the roll-pitch assembly, and the pitch cover shell is configured to compensate a pitch movement of the roll-pitch assembly.

Abstract: A radiation therapy patient handling system, comprises: a bedside for a patient; a wagon coupled to the bedside; and an axis frame module including a first beam, a second beam, a first end cap connecting the first beam and the second beam, and a second end cap connecting the first beam and the second beam. The first beam and the second beam extend along a longitudinal direction of the axis frame module. The wagon is movable within the axis frame module along the longitudinal direction. The first beam and the second beam each include an integrated guidance interface extending along the longitudinal direction. The wagon is coupled to the axis frame module via the integrated guidance interfaces.

Abstract: A patient-supporting apparatus includes a lifting apparatus. The lifting apparatus includes an upper part, a lower part, and a lifting linkage. The lifting linkage connects the upper part to the lower part and has at least one scissors-form sub-linkage having a central articulation. A point of rotation of the central articulation is arranged in a displaceable manner such that the upper part may be tilted in a transverse direction.

Abstract: A C-arm for a medical examination device or therapeutic device, is designed as a cast metal component. In at least one embodiment, one or more reinforcement profile, extending at least in certain sections along the C-arm, are cast in.
