Problems solved by technology

Due to the extremely strong magnetic field acting on the examination area, it is not possible to transport the patient directly into the examination area using patient carriers normally used for hospital transport (e.g. couch, trolley, hospital bed, etc.)

Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 A patient carrier in the form of a movable patient couch 1 according to the invention is shown. The device comprises a movable pedestal 2, on which a height-adjustable patient support plate 3 is fixed. The height adjustment is achieved by means of a hydraulic unit, which is figure 2 further elaborated in. In order to manually adjust the height of the couch 1 in the mobile state, the device comprises in particular two footrests 4 and 5 which are directly mechanically connected to a piston pump in each case. By manually actuating a foot pedal 4, hydraulic oil is pumped into a lifting cylinder for raising the patient support plate. To lower the patient support plate, the hydraulic oil is drained from the lift cylinder by actuating the other foot pedal 5 .

[0030] There is a docking device 6 at one end of the pedestal 2 opposite to the pedals 4,5. The device is matched to a docking device 7 of a medical device (not shown), in particular a magnetic resonance ...

Abstract

A simplify mobile patient support apparatus which is suitable for an examination of a patient by a magnetic resonance tomography system is proposed. A first and second actuation facility and a control facility are used. Depending on the operating state of the patient support apparatus whether is docked with or undocked from the magnetic resonance tomography system, actuation of the first and second actuation facilities results either in the coupling or uncoupling of the patient support apparatus to / from the magnetic resonance tomography system or the raising or lowering of a patient support plate of the patient support apparatus. Essential components for docking or undocking or for the vertical adjustment of the patient support plate are integrated in a hydraulic unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a movable patient carrier for detachable connection to a medical instrument. Background technique [0002] When a patient is examined in an imaging system with a gantry, such as a computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance tomography or positron emission tomography (PET), the patient must be placed in the gantry. For this purpose, the patient is placed on a patient support plate which can be driven into the gantry. Since the gantry extends in space in the form of a hollow cylinder, typically with an outer diameter of about 2 m, the patient support plate for driving into the gantry must be kept at a distance of 70 to 90 cm from the ground. However, in order to allow the patient to lie on the patient support board conveniently in advance, the distance between the ground and the floor should not exceed 55cm. For this reason, height-adjustable patient carriers are used, especially in imaging systems with larger gantry. [0003...
