A medical system according to an embodiment is a system in which at least one medical image diagnosis apparatus and a server are connected via a network and the medical system includes a storage circuit, a processing circuit, and a display circuit. The storage circuit stores information on examinations that are performed by the at least one medical image diagnosis apparatus. The processing circuit generates proposal information based on information on the examinations. The display circuit displays the proposal information.

Medical system, medical image diagnosis apparatus and terminal device

The X-ray CT apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a bed, a foot switch, and processing circuitry. The bed is on which an object is placed. The foot switch is provided on the bed. The processing circuitry is configured to switch functions of the foot switch based on whether or not a CT fluoroscopic mode for performing fluoroscopy of the object is activated.

X-ray CT apparatus

According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes a gantry body, a column, and fixing equipment. The gantry body includes a bore to form a field of view, and also includes an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector. The column supports the gantry body so that the gantry body is vertically movable with a central axis of the bore extending vertically to a floor face. The fixing equipment fixes a subject holder so that the subject holder is located on a passage of the bore and partially in the bore in a phase of attaching a subject to the subject holder.

X-ray computed tomography apparatus

An X-ray computed-tomography (CT) apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray tube, a detector, a table top, and processing circuitry. The X-ray tube generates an X-ray. The detector detects the X-ray. On the table top, a subject is placed. The processing circuitry controls a moving mechanism to move the table top in a longitudinal direction. The processing circuitry displays information indicating magnitude of a vibration that occurs, when each position in the longitudinal direction on the table top is moved to a position intersecting a path of the X-ray, at the position.

One embodiment, a medical imaging diagnosis apparatus includes a gantry, a bed and a processing circuitry. The gantry acquires data. The bed supports a table top such that the table top is horizontally and vertically movable relative to a floor surface. The processing circuitry determines a lift route of the table top from an initial height to a target height to be either a first route or a second route. The first route is in which the table top is vertically lifted relative to the floor surface from the initial height to the target height. The second route is in which the table top is vertically lifted, while being horizontally moved, relative to the floor surface from the initial height to the target height.

Medical imaging diagnosis apparatus and scan planning device

One embodiment, control circuitry executes at least one of a start operation and a stop operation. For a start operation, the control circuitry accelerates a top support portion along a forward direction before moving a top when starting to move an object in a scan after positioning the top support portion at a moving start position decided based on a scan condition and accelerates the top to a set speed along the forward direction after a first predetermined time since start of acceleration control on the top support portion. For a stop operation, the control circuitry accelerates the top support portion along the forward direction when decelerating the top and stops the top after a second predetermined time since start of acceleration control on the top support portion.

X-ray computed tomography apparatus and bed device

According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes a gantry main body, a base, a first support frame, a second support frame and gantry control circuitry. The gantry control circuitry controls a tilt of the gantry main body, a movement of the table top by the first support frame, and a movement of the first support frame by the second support frame. The gantry control circuitry executes switching between a first tilt mode in which the gantry main body is tiltable in a first angle range and a second tilt mode in which the gantry main body is tiltable in a second angle range in which a tilt angle is greater than in the first angle range.

According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnosis apparatus includes a gantry, a first frame, a second frame, a support base, and control circuitry. The first frame supports a table top. The table top is movable in a longitudinal direction of the table top. The second frame supports the first frame. The first frame is movable in the longitudinal direction. The support base is equipped with an X link that supports the second frame. The second frame is movable in a direction vertical to a floor surface. The control circuitry moves the first frame in the longitudinal direction based on operation information of a drive shaft of the support base to correct a change in position of the first frame in the longitudinal direction in accordance with movement of the second frame in the vertical direction.

Medical image diagnosis apparatus and bed apparatus

An X-ray CT device according to an embodiment includes a gantry, a top board, and a movement mechanism. The gantry includes an X-ray tube that generates X-rays and a detector that detects the X-rays. The top board inserts the subject into the opening section of the gantry. The movement mechanism moves the top board in a longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the position of the top board in a vertical direction at the position that intersects with the path of the X-rays is changed at substantially the same slope relative to the movement distance of the top board when the top board is moved in the longitudinal direction.

X-ray CT device and bed device

According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography imaging apparatus includes an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, a gantry, a column, and a display. The display configured to display, on the floor surface, a graphic corresponding to one of a range in which a field of view formed by the X-ray source and the X-ray detector is projected onto the floor surface from a vertical direction of the gantry and a range in which an outer edge of the bore is projected onto the floor surface from the vertical direction of the gantry.

X-ray computed tomography imaging apparatus and display apparatus

An X-ray CT apparatus according to an embodiment includes a gantry, an air inlet, and an air outlet. The gantry supports an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector. The air inlet is provided in the gantry to draw air into the gantry from outside the gantry. The air outlet is provided in a lower section of the gantry to discharge air from the gantry through a path that houses a controller that controls the gantry.
