Embodiment Construction

[0019] The following description provides specific details to provide a thorough understanding. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the described x-ray apparatus can be made and used without these specific details. Indeed, by making modifications to the described systems and methods for controlling X-ray equipment, the described systems and methods can be put into practice and the described systems and methods for controlling X-ray equipment can be compared with industrial used in combination with any other devices and techniques conventionally used in For example, although the following description focuses on a C-arm x-ray device, other x-ray imaging arms as well as x-ray devices may be used, including U-arms with separate detectors configured in an approximate C-arm configuration Or portable x-ray equipment.

[0020] Furthermore, when the terms: on, disposed on, attached to, connected to, or coupled to, etc., are used herein, an object (e.g., ma...

Abstract

Small, portable, and collapsible X-ray devices are described in this application. In particular, this application describes a portable X-ray device that contains a C-shaped support arm, an X-ray source contained near one end of the support arm, and an X-ray detector contained near the other end of the support arm, and the X-ray source is enclosed in a housing that also encloses a power source anda power supply. The X-ray device is portable since it can be configured to be carried by hand from location to location without using wheels or a gantry. The C-shaped support arm capable of rotating around an object to be analyzed that remains in a substantially fixed location when removably attached to a support structure using a connection that also allows the connection point to slide along thearc of the C-shaped support arm.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application generally relates to an X-ray device. More specifically, the present application relates to a small, portable and foldable X-ray device. Background technique [0002] An X-ray imaging system typically includes an X-ray source and an X-ray detector. X-rays (or other types of radiation) are emitted from a source and impinge on an X-ray detector to provide an X-ray image of an object or objects placed between the X-ray source and the detector. X-ray detectors are usually image intensifiers or even flat panel digital detectors. In some configurations, these devices comprise a C-arm assembly, where the source and detector are located at opposite ends of the "C"-arm of the assembly. The C-arm assembly is movable relative to the subject through a continuum of rotational angles to obtain images from multiple orientations. [0003] Some x-ray imaging systems have limited mobility because they include gantry fixed to the floor, wall o...
