Embodiment Construction

[0017] A mobile C-arm with a positioning unit can be connected to the device and the associated method, the positioning unit being able to position the C-arm in a predeterminable direction.

[0018] The device concept and its individual components are shown with the aid of the drawings. The individual components are a positioning unit RA, a medical device (eg mobile C-arm C) and a further medical device (eg couch unit L). A first control unit SRA is associated with the positioning unit RA, a second control unit SC with the mobile C-arm C and a third control unit SL with the couch unit L are associated. The individual components of the positioning unit RA, the mobile C-arm C and the couch unit L can be positioned individually by means of the first control unit SRA, the second control unit SC and the third control unit SL, or for example by means of the associated positioning unit RA. Networked computers (Verbundrechners) VR position it in combination.

Abstract

A mobile C-arm is able to be positioned in a predetermined alignment by a positioning unit and an associated method. The apparatus has a positioning unit containing a controllable section having at least a first hinged bracket and a first hinge and is able to be positioned with a removable connection to the medical device at a determinable location. The medical device is able to be positioned at a predetermined location by means of the positioning unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for positioning a plant unit, in particular for positioning a mobile C-arm. Background technique [0002] Device units, in particular medical devices such as mobile C-arms, are manually pushed or moved into specific positions for the recording of x-ray images, for example on an operating table or a patient table. After a sequence of x-ray exposures or a single x-ray exposure, the mobile C-arm is moved from the use position to a parking position inside the treatment room or adjacent to the treatment room. During a treatment or after an intervention, the mobile C-arm is pushed into its use position for X-ray recordings, in order to be able to register or evaluate the progress of the treatment or operation, or to find a solution to a surgical problem. The repeated use of the C-arm presents the problem that the position and orientation once occupied can only be moved closer again intuitively by the operator. ...
