Embodiment Construction

[0021] The invention relates to a compression device of a mammography system, by means of which an object can be held in place for the x-ray imaging until the end of the ultrasound imaging.

[0022] figure 1 A perspective view of a compression device KE of a mammography system MG is shown. According to the design, the compression device KE consists of a pressure element C which is compressed in the frame R. exist figure 1 The compression device KE represented in has an ultrasonic device USE that is movable by means of a guide device FS. The edge region of the ultrasound device USE is connected to components of the guide device FS, so that the ultrasound device USE or individual elements of the ultrasound device USE can be moved vertically and / or horizontally. The guide FS can be connected to the support A. The stand A can be connected to components of the mammography system, for example a stand or a C-arm, via a connecting element VE. The ultrasound device USE is position...

Abstract

The invention relates to a compression unit of a mammography device which is designed in such a way that a fixation of an object for an x-ray recording can be maintained until the conclusion of an ultrasound recording.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a compression device for a mammography apparatus. Background technique [0002] Imaging is used for durable diagnosis. In the imaging method, for example, 2D x-ray images of the breast are recorded from different recording angles along a circular trajectory around the object and a 3D data record is calculated. Starting from the 3D data set, tomograms or x-ray images of arbitrary slices are then generated for diagnosis from the 3D data set and displayed on a imaging screen for evaluation by the doctor. [0003] In order to be able to better assess the tissue changes for diagnosis purposes, ultrasound images of the breast tissue should additionally be recorded. With the help of a sonograph, the reflected pulses are received from the ultrasound pulses emitted by the sonotrode and converted into an ultrasound image. [0004] The patient stands or sits directly in front of the mammography machine during the mammogram and the pati...
