Embodiment Construction

[0025] figure 1 A diagnostic and / or therapeutic device (DT device) 3 with a patient support device 1 is schematically illustrated in . The DT device 3 includes a C-arm 31 carrying an X-ray emitter 33 and an X-ray detector 34 . For example, they can either be used to generate x-ray images with low-energy x-ray radiation or for therapeutic irradiation with high-energy x-ray radiation. The C-arm 31 is supported on a C-arm base 32 . The C-arm seat 32 can have a vertical structure in the room or can also be a structure embedded in the wall and ceiling of the room. The C-arm 31 allows positioning of the X-ray emitter 33 and the X-ray detector 34 such that a patient positioned by means of the patient support device 1 can receive X-ray radiation.

[0026] The patient support device 1 includes a couch 11 on which a patient can be placed. The couch 11 is movable in the horizontal direction, which is indicated by the double arrows in the horizontal direction. For this purpose, the c...

Abstract

The invention relates to a patient-supporting device (1) for a diagnostic and / or therapeutic appliance, with a bench (11) which is mounted so as to be vertically adjustable, and with a spindle drive which is designed for adjusting the height of the bench (11). According to the invention, the spindle drive is mounted on a base plate (23) in a ball joint in order to avoid a situation where errors of alignment between spindle nut and spindle can be caused by a patient not being centred on the bench (11).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a patient support for a diagnostic and / or therapeutic device and to a diagnostic and / or therapeutic device. Background technique [0002] Devices in which radiation, electromagnetic or sound waves are used to examine or treat a patient are frequently used in medical diagnosis and treatment. Here, for example, X-rays, electron beams or particle beams, ultrasound or magnetic fields are used. Many of the devices described include relatively heavy radiation or interaction sources and often also corresponding detectors. They can often be positioned in space by correspondingly bulky mechanical structures, a completely free three-dimensional positionability being impossible in most cases. [0003] Depending on the type of examination or treatment to be performed, a certain spatial orientation and position of the diagnostic or therapeutic device and its source of action relative to the patient to be examined must be established. The...
