X-RAY APPARATUS TURNING STAGE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: digital roentgenographs for diagnosing patients. SUBSTANCE: proposed turning stage for digital roentgenographic apparatus has base joined with bearing frame and its turning gear; supporting wall; longitudinal-travel carriage joined with bearing frame and provided with its linear displacement gear; bracket; X-ray emitter; and X-ray detector. Bracket is rigidly fixed on longitudinal-travel carriage and mounts U-shaped pendulum lever incorporating its angular displacement gear; one of pendulum lever arms that mounts X-ray emitter functions as its axis of revolution and opposite arm of pendulum lever carries X-ray detector. Proposed design enables generation of images at any angle of incidence of X-ray relative to patient's body. EFFECT: minimized projection distortions of visualized organs; enhanced stiffness of mechanical design. 5 dwg
