Embodiment Construction

[0031] figure 1 and figure 2 A patient positioning device 1 is shown. Such a patient positioning device 1 is used to position the patient relative to the radiation system. The radiation emitted by radiation devices is in particular radiation consisting of ionizing radiation. Such radiation devices are used in particular in tumor therapy. Particularly preferably, the radiation device is a radiation device for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT—Boron Neutron Capture Therapy). The patient positioning device 1 includes a mechanical arm 2 ( Figure 6 ), which carries the patient receptacle 3 . In the exemplary embodiment, the patient receptacle 3 is a patient bed. The patient receptacle 3 can also be designed in other forms, for example as a seat. In the exemplary embodiment, the patient positioning device 1 is fastened to a ceiling 40 . Fixing to the floor can also be advantageous.

[0032] Such as image 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the robot arm 2 is surrounded by a hous...

Abstract

The invention relates to a patient positioning device(1), particularly applicable to Boron neutron capture therapy(BNCT). The patient positioning device(1) has a robot arm and a patient receptacle(3) held at the robot arm(2). The patient positioning device(1) has a housing assembly (4)for the robot arm(2). The housing assembly(4) is provided with one or more housing units(17,18,19,20,21) surrounding the robot arm(2) at least partially. The one or more housing units(17,18,19,20,21) are secured at the robot arm(2). The patient positioning device is provided with a shielding(33) against ionizing radiation. At least one part of the shielding (33)is arranged at the one or more housing units(17,18,19,20,21) .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a patient positioning device. Background technique [0002] From EP 1 985 237 A1 a patient positioning device is known which has a robot arm and a patient receptacle held on the robot arm. [0003] Ionizing radiation is used in the irradiation of tumor tissue. In particular, the radiation used in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is very aggressive and damages especially electronic components. For the protection of electronic components against ionizing radiation, shielding devices (Abschirmeinrichtung) are known, which are commercially available, for example in the form of plates or films. Contents of the invention [0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a patient positioning device of this type which can be used in environments with ionizing radiation and which is simple to construct. [0005] This object is achieved by a patient positioning device comprising a robotic arm and a patient holder held ...
