A medical image diagnosis apparatus, comprises an image generator, a display, and a mechanism. The image generator is configured to generate a medical image. The display comprises a plurality of monitors and is configured to display the medical image. The mechanism is configured to change an arrangement of the plurality of monitors with respect to each of the monitors.

Medical image diagnosis apparatus having a plurality of monitors

An X-ray diagnostic apparatus comprising X-ray generating unit for generating an X-ray to a patient, X-ray image detecting unit, provided to be apposite to the X-ray generating unit to sandwich the patient therebetween, for detecting an X-ray image, a holding apparatus for rotatably holding the X-ray generating unit and x-ray image detecting unit at a rotation axis, which is a line connecting the X-ray generating unit to the X-ray image detecting unit, and a supporting apparatus for rotatably supporting the holding apparatus at the same rotation axis.

X-ray diagnostic apparatus of a circulatory organ system

An X-ray fluoroscopic imaging apparatus capable of taking the fluoroscopic images of an arbitrary portion of an object to be examined from all directions without moving the object to be examined itself. The apparatus includes an arm member for supporting a fluoroscopic imaging device to be slidable along a circle centered around an isocenter; a supporting member for supporting the arm member to be rotatable in a vertical plane; and a carrier member for moving the support member in a horizontal plane, and for rotating the supporting member in the horizontal plane around a pivotal center not identical to the isocenter; where the carrier member, the supporting member, and the arm member are controlled such that the fluoroscopic imaging device can effectively be moved among positions distributed spherically around the isocenter, without changing an orientation of the supporting member with respect to the isocenter. The apparatus can also be effective in taking the fluoroscopic images of a region of interest in the object to be examined which requires more than one fluoroscopic imaging operations, without moving the object to be examined itself.

X-ray fluoroscopic imaging apparatus with extended imaging set up range

An x-ray diagnosing apparatus includes a holding unit including an x-ray source, an x-ray image detector, an a rotating/driving unit for integrally rotating the x-ray source and the x-ray image detector about first, second, and third axes which are perpendicular to each other, sensors for detecting rotational angles with respect to the first, second, and third axes, respectively, calculating unit for calculating clinically defined diagnostic angles by using the rotational angles detected by the detectors with respect to the first, second, and third axes, a memory for storing the diagnostic angles calculated by the calculating unit, and a control system for performing write control to write the diagnostic angles, of the holding unit in a photographing operation, in the memory, performing read control to read out the diagnostic angles from the memory in a re-photographing operation, and performing control to supply a command to the rotating/driving unit to set the holding unit in the same state as the photographing operation by using the diagnostic angles read out by the read control.
