Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 1 An example of a patient carrier employed in an absorption chamber 100 within a PET facility is shown. Patient 102 has been injected with a radiopharmaceutical and is awaiting dissemination of the radiopharmaceutical in his body. During this period, it is placed on a patient carrier 104, such as a relax chair, that includes one or more sensors 106 embedded therein. An audio trigger or alarm 114 is activated within the absorption chamber 100 when the sensor 106 detects movement of the patient 102 . Simultaneously, a care provider 110 , who is arranged in the console room 101 and is responsible for performing another procedure in the scanning room 108 , is alerted by the visual indicator 116 that the patient 102 in the absorption room 100 has moved.

[0019] During the absorption period (ie, the waiting period after the patient injects the radiopharmaceutical), the patient must remain still (ie, there is no spontaneous body movement) to minimize absorption of th...

Abstract

A patient carrier is hereby proposed for use in a radiation imaging suite, the patient carrier comprising at least one sensor configured to detect one or more parameters in a group of environmental parameters in the radiation imaging suite and physiological parameters of a patient positioned on the patient carrier, and an event initiator arranged to initiate an event in the radiation imaging suite based on the one or more detected parameters.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to radiation field imaging and, in particular, to patient carriers employed in a radiation imaging environment. Background technique [0002] X-ray computed tomography (CT) and / or positron emission tomography (PET) exams can take a considerable amount of time. For example, as mentioned in the report "AAPM Task Group 108: PET and PET / CTShielding Requirements" published by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine in the journal Medical Physics, Volume 3, Issue 1, pp.4-15, January 2006 , PET images were acquired at 6 to 10 bed positions at intervals of 15 to 60 minutes. [0003] It is also mentioned in the report that for some PET procedures the patient has to wait a certain period of time after administration of the radiopharmaceutical to allow the radiopharmaceutical to disperse into the patient's body. During this waiting period, also known as the absorption period, the patient must reduce activity to a minimum...
