  • Patent number: 7495247
    Abstract: Facility for installing or for system testing of floor or ceiling-mountable x-ray systems with radiation protection cabins with radiation-proof, especially lead-lined, walls and doors, with each radiation protection cabin (1) having a sliding door (7, 7?) occupying at least a majority of the cabin wall, made up of several lead-shielded door elements (7a, 7b, 7c) which can slide telescopically over one another and are preferably hung from a ceiling mount at a slight distance from the floor to allow them to slide freely and separate the internal operating space (5) of the cabin (1) from the operating console (4) for the x-ray system arranged in front of it, with the door elements (7a, 7b, 7c) being equipped with lead-shielded side edges (9) overlapping in their closed position such that radiation cannot escape from the interior of the cabin through the gap between two adjacent door elements (7a, 7b, 7c), and with a door closing monitoring system being provided to which the operating system of the x-ray system i

  • Patent number: 7373851
    Abstract: A test simulator for image evaluation of x-ray systems has a flexible test phantom connected by a single connection tube with a single pump that fills and empties the test phantom with a medium. The test phantom thus contracts (as in a real heartbeat) for simulation of systole and subsequently expands for simulation of diastole. Due to the use of only one connection tube and only one pump for control, a simply designed test simulator is obtained since the pump both fills and empties the test phantom.

  • Publication number: 20050004470
    Abstract: An apparatus for mounting at least one ultrasound head to a patient positioning table has a base element with at least one chamber for an electronic module, and with at least one attachment element for an ultrasound head. The attachment element has a chamber to accept an electronic module associated with the respective ultrasound head and a mounting or acceptor for the ultrasound head.
