AI Technical Summary
Existing C-arm X-ray machines have large laser positioning devices that occupy a lot of space and affect surgical operations; the laser beam navigation accuracy is low, making it impossible to achieve panoramic display and multi-target positioning; and the laser generator tube obstructs X-ray imaging.
The self-projection C-arm X-ray machine uses a projector fixed to the side of the X-ray tube. By using a reflection device, the light from the projector is aligned with the optical axis of the X-ray tube, enabling panoramic observation. The image is transmitted to the projector through the control module, achieving a "what you see is what you get" effect.
It effectively expands the surgical space, enables panoramic observation of the X-ray machine's fluoroscopic area, avoids laser beam obstruction, and improves navigation accuracy and multi-target positioning capabilities.

[0019] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but not as the limitation of the utility model.
[0020] Embodiment 1:
[0021] As Figs. 1-2The utility model discloses a kind of self-projection C-arm X-ray machines shown in embodiment 1, including C-arm X-ray machine body 0, C-arm X-ray machine body 0 including X line bulb 01 and image intensifier 02, including projector 1 and reflecting device 2;Projector 1 is fixed on the side of X line bulb 01;The lens direction of projector 1 is towards image intensifier 02;The lens center of projector 1 is at the same horizontal height with X line bulb 01;The lens exit angle of projector 1 is same with the exit angle of X line bulb 01;Reflecting device 2 includes mutually parallel first plane mirror 21 and second plane mirror 22;The mirror surface of first plane mirror 21 and second plane mirror 22 is opposite;The mirror surface of first plane mirror 21 is obliquely opposite the lens of projector;If the exit optical axis direction of projector 1 is vertically downward, the included angle between first plane mirror and horizontal plane is 45 °;If the exit light of the lens main optical axis of projector 1 is reflected after first plane mirror 21, irradiates to second plane mirror 22, and is parallel with the lens main optical axis direction of projector after being reflected by second plane mirror 22 again;Second plane mirror 22 is located below X line bulb 01;Wherein, the light that is reflected by second plane mirror 22 is consistent with the light that is shot when the lens focal point of projector 1 and the focal point of X line bulb 01 coincide, reach the lens focal point of projector 1 and the focal point of X line bulb 01 " equivalent " coincide.The " equivalent " coincide in the embodiment of the utility model means that the image irradiated by projector is on patient's body, and the size and position of transmission diagram in patient's body are completely consistent.By being at the same horizontal height with the lens center of projector 1 and X line bulb 01;And the lens exit angle of projector 1 is same with the exit angle of X line bulb 01;It can be ensured that the light reflected by reflecting device 2 and the X light shot by X line bulb 01 coincide when the light of projector 1 is reflected to the right below X line bulb 01.
[0022] Since there are many metal components in projector 1, if the lens focal point of projector and the focal point of X line bulb 01 are physically coincided directly, it can cause interference to X ray emitted by X line bulb 01, affect subsequent transmission diagram, therefore, by setting reflecting device 2, lens focal point of projector 1 set on the side of X line bulb 01 is moved to the below of X line bulb 01, so that the lens focal point of X line bulb 01 and the focal point of X line bulb 01 " equivalent " coincide, reach the same effect of physical coincidence of the lens focal point of projector and the focal point of X line bulb 01.
[0023] When the self-projection C-arm X-ray machine provided by the embodiment 1 of the utility model is used, the X-ray tube 01 of the C-arm X-ray machine body works to obtain a transmission image by transmitting the patient's body; the C-arm X-ray machine body transmits the transmission image to the projector 1, and the projector 1 projects the transmission image on the patient's body; since the center point of the projector 1 and the focal point of the X-ray tube 01 are equivalent to coincide, the projected image on the patient's body is completely consistent with the transmission image inside the patient's body, and is one-to-one corresponding to the size and position inside the patient's body, so that the effect of "what you see is what you get" is achieved, and the doctor directly performs surgical operation according to the image projected on the patient's body. After the image output by the projector of the utility model and the actual X-ray image are equal and coincide, how large the X-ray perspective area is, the doctor can directly obtain the corresponding size of the projected image, the doctor performs surgical operation on the lesion according to the image projected on the patient's body, the effect of "what you see is what you get" is achieved, panoramic observation of the perspective area of the X-ray machine is realized, and the volume occupied by the utility model is small compared with the prior art, so that the surgical space is effectively widened.

In the embodiment, as long as the control module can send the transmission image obtained by the X-ray machine body 0 to the projector 1, for example, the control module can be a computer host that controls the work of the X-ray machine body 0, the computer host transmits the obtained transmission image information to the projector 1, and the projector projects the transmitted transmission image.
[0026] In another embodiment of the utility model, the reflection device comprises a first plane mirror; the lens main optical axis of the projector is in a horizontal direction, and the mirror surface of the first plane mirror is opposite to the lens of the projector; if the lens main optical axis of the projector is in a horizontal direction, the included angle between the first plane mirror and the horizontal plane is 45 degrees; after the outgoing light ray of the lens main optical axis of the projector is reflected by the first plane mirror, the lens main optical axis of the projector is perpendicular, and the mirror surface of the first plane mirror faces downward. The embodiment 2 of the utility model reduces a plane mirror for reflection, and simultaneously sets the lens main optical axis of the projector to a horizontal direction, but the principle is consistent with that of the embodiment 1, and the light ray reflected by the lens main optical axis of the projector is coincided with the main optical axis of the X-ray tube, so that the focal point of the lens of the projector is physically coincided with the X-ray focal point in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, and the image output by the projector is equivalent to the actual X-ray image in the Y-axis direction.
