Embodiment Construction

[0025] For integrated MR and / or linac therapy reflexology (RT) systems, a platform top with positioning features for the associated patient positioning device is required. For optimum image quality, use specific RF coils such as, figure 1 head coil. It is also desirable to position such coils below the patient surface on top of the platform in order to optimize patient anatomy and RF coil geometry. It is possible to create a platform top for the MR patient support tray that includes a pocket or recessed portion that receives the RF head coil, thereby optimizing the imaging geometry. Accordingly, figure 1 Illustrated is a platform top with filler inserts that allows the operator to use the top without filler inserts to position neurovascular coils in optimal locations below the surface of the table top for brain imaging, and also by Removing the coils and installing a flat surface filler insert for additional positioning requirements converts the patient support table back t...

Abstract

When imaging a patient with a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging machine, it is desirable to position the radio frequency (RF) head coil below the patient surface on top of the flat table in order to optimize the patient anatomy and the RF coil geometric shapes. A flat table top is provided for an MR patient support table (10) including a pocket or recessed portion (50) that accepts an RF head coil (14) to optimize imaging geometry. When the RF coil does not fit into the recessed portion of the table (10), the filler insert (20) fits into it. This allows the operator to use a table top without filler inserts to position neurovascular coils at optimal locations below the table top surface for brain imaging, and by removing the coil and installing a flat surface for additional positioning requirements Fill the insert to convert the patient support table back to a fully flat top. In a radiotherapy treatment setting, the filler insert feature allows for treatment planning using magnetic resonance with optimized image quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application finds particular application in medical imaging systems, especially patient support systems. However, it should be appreciated that the described techniques may also be applied to other diagnostic systems, other imaging systems, and the like. Background technique [0002] In medical diagnostic imaging, problems arise in the transfer of imaging subjects to and from an imaging device. In many cases, the subject is defective and cannot be assisted during the transfer. In some cases it is important to preserve the patient position. [0003] Typically, the patient is placed on a wheeled patient couch or other movable object support adapted to mechanically interface with a medical diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging scanner or other imaging device. In one known approach, the locking mechanism that locks the couch to the imaging device is triggered by operation of the brake pedal of the patient couch. Once attached, the imaging d...
