Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of formula (I) wherein A, R1, R2 and R3 are as described herein, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Further the present invention is concerned with the manufacture of the pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of formula (I) and their use as medicaments.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment comprises a patient support, a radiation source which generates a radiation beam penetrating the radiography subject, a radiation receiver which converts the radiation intensity behind the subject into electric signals, a measurand converter for the conversion of the electric signals delivered by the radiation receiver into an optically visible image, and a rotating frame assembly on which the radiation source and the radiation receiver are mounted and which, for the purpose of scanning the radiography subject from various directions, is rotatably mounted about an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the patient support. The rotating radiation source is adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the patient support jointly with movement of the patient support so that several parallel transverse layers of the radiography subject can be very rapidly scanned.

Abstract: In illustrated laminographic embodiments, longitudinal body layers are scanned by arranging individual x-ray tubes along a path or surface parallel to the body layer. The intensity of each conical beam focused on the body layer may be individually selected according to the absorption of the associated beam path through the body, for the sake of a fluoroscopic image of uniform brightness. For scanning either longitudinal or transverse body layers, a stationary detector may be utilized, sequentially activated conical or thin fan-shaped beams impinging on respective sets of time-shared detector locations to provide sets of measured values identified with the respective beams.

Abstract: A ray measuring arrangement for scanning of a selected transverse section is associated with a compensating body of tissue equivalent material having a patient-receiving through-aperture of size such that a patient may be moved into and through such aperture by means of motor driven patient supports at opposite longitudinal sides of the aperture. For cranial examination, a holder ring of tissue equivalent material is supported for longitudinal movement within the aperture of the compensating body, the holder having a position adjacent a patient support so that the motor drive can transport the patient longitudinally until the patient's head rests on an elastic contouring member of the holder. The contouring member is then filled with a suitable liquid so as to closely conform with the contour of the patient's head. Thereupon, further motorized drive of the patient support moves the patient and the holder longitudinally until the patient's head is correctly located for examination.

Abstract: An X-ray targeting mechanism or X-ray spot film device including switching means for the organwise-programmed setting of exposure data on a command component. The switching means is constructed of a multi-position or rotary step switch. A plurality of legend-bearing or color-coded viewing frames are associated with the switch, and indicate the particular combinations of exposure data or organs related to each individual switch step position.FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to an X-ray targeting mechanism or spot film device including switching means for the organwise-programmed setting of exposure data on a command component.DISCUSSION OF THE PRIOR ARTAn X-ray targeting mechanism or spot film device of this type has become known through prospectus SR 850 of Hofmann GmbH, Erlangen, West Germany.
