The present invention relates to the arrangement of medical equipment during X-ray imaging. In order to provide further holding for medical equipment, a temporarily attachment of medical equipment to a subject support () is provided. A panel-like structure () is provided to be arranged between the structure of the subject support () and a covering mattress () or the like on which the subject is then arranged. An attachment interface () is provided at the edge of the panel, which interface can be used for a temporarily mount of the equipment. The attachment interface can be formed as a rail-segment. The panel is X-ray transparent to allow X-ray imaging of the subject from an increased range of directions. The attachment interface can be X-ray opaque or also X-ray transparent.

Temporarily attachment of medical equipment to a subject support

Disclosed is an intraluminal ultrasound imaging system, including a processor circuit in communication with an intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter, and configured to receive a plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images from the imaging catheter during movement of the imaging catheter within a body lumen of a patient, the body lumen comprising a plurality of segments. The processor circuit is further configured to generate a marker to be applied to an intraluminal ultrasound image of the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images, wherein the marker is generated based on the movement of the intraluminal ultrasound imaging catheter, and wherein the marker is representative of a segment of the plurality of segments, and output to a display the marker and the plurality of intraluminal ultrasound images shown successively.
