A headrest, armrest, or other attachment to an image diagnosis bed apparatus having leaf springs formed as integral parts of its connecting portion, and a bed apparatus tabletop with a connecting hole for the insertion of the attachment connecting portion at one end and fixing holes for the leaf springs at its top. Also, an armrest shaped so as to be capable of being placed over a headrest connected to the tabletop.

Bed apparatus for image diagnosis and its attachments

An X-ray computer tomography apparatus includes a substantially annular rotating frame supported to be rotatable around a rotation axis, a plurality of X-ray tubes discretely provided along the circumference of the rotating frame, a plurality of X-ray detectors discretely provided along the circumference of the rotating frame, a plurality of variable-opening slits which are made to respectively correspond to the plurality of X-ray tubes, and a slit control unit which individually controls the widths and central positions of openings of the plurality of slits.

X-ray computer tomography apparatus

A radiation computed tomography apparatus of this invention includes a couch, a top board which carries the patient and is slidably arranged on the couch, a gantry which has an opening and acquires projection data of a patient by guiding the patient carried on the top board into the opening, reconstruction section for reconstructing the tomographic image of the patient by reconstructing the projection data acquired by the gantry, and adjusting section, arranged on or near the gantry, for adjusting the photographing condition of the patient for obtaining a predetermined tomographic image of the patient.

Radiation computed tomography apparatus

In an X-ray computed tomography apparatus for producing a sectional image of an object, an X-ray computed tomography gantry comprises an X-ray tube unit, an X-ray tube cooling unit, an X-ray detection unit, a signal amplifier unit, a mechanical control unit, and a power source unit. These units are fixed on the rotating base. These units are integrally fixed at portions thereof opposite to portions thereof fixed on the rotating base by a band.

X-ray computed tomography apparatus

A medical imaging apparatus comprises a respiration depth detecting device for detecting a respiration depth of a subject and an indication device for indicating the respiration depth determined by the respiration depth detecting device to the subject. The respiration depth detecting device includes a measuring device for measuring a position of the surface of the body of the subject, a device for detecting a maximum value and a minimum value of the respiration depth of the subject on the basis of maximum extreme values and minimum extreme values of the position of the surface of the body measured by the measuring device, and a device for calculating the respiration depth of the subject on the basis of the position of the surface of the body measured by the measuring device and the maximum value and minimum value of the respiration depth. The indication means includes a plurality of light emitting elements, and a device for turning on at least one of the light emitting elements in accordance with the respiration depth of the subject.

Medical imaging apparatus

A frame structure for a CT scanner, in which a dome for containing a scanner for an object or subject to be examined has an imaging space in its central portion, and a bed plate support mechanism carries the subject, and in which a bed plate slidably drive mechanism moves the bed plate into or out of the imaging space of the dome, and the bed plate support mechanism and the bed plate slidably drive mechanism are integrally provided to the dome.
