A magnetic resonance imaging system includes a lower body which has a flat upper surface, and contains a first magnetic pole, an upper body which has a lower surface disposed in opposed relation to the upper surface of the lower body, and contains a second magnetic pole, a bed disposed adjacent to the lower body, and a pair of support posts which are provided respectively on right and left sides of the lower body, and interconnect the lower body and the upper body. A space, formed between the lower surface of the upper body and the upper surface of the lower body, is open at least toward the bed between the pair of right and left support posts.

Magnetic resonance imaging system

Open type magnetic resonance imaging system which allows for easy access

A X-ray photographing apparatus is suitable for use for a doctor to take X-ray photographing while performing medical treatment, and is capable of positioning a patient at a height at which operations are made ease in accordance with contents of medical treatment. The X-ray photographing apparatus comprises a table of a bed, on which a person to be inspected is placed, a table support device having a function for tilting the table about an axis in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the bed and vertically moving the bed, a X-ray irradiation device located above the person to be inspected on the bed and spaced a distance from a top side of the table, and a X-ray detection device located below the table, the support device having a horizontal support for supporting the bed from sides of the bed and a vertical support mechanism for vertically moving the horizontal support, and the vertical support mechanism being arranged on one side of the bed and offset toward an end of the bed from a center in the longitudinal direction of the bed, whereby a doctor is not interfered with in smoothly moving and performing medical treatment around a portion of the bed where the upper half of the body of the person to be inspected is placed, and a space for installing other medical treatment tools can be secured.
