C-ARC WITH COMPLEX ROTATION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B6/03 H05G1/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to X-ray scanners for examination of patients. Device for examination contains X-ray module of C-arc, rack for supply of electric energy and cooling for X-ray source, connecting device, made with possibility of C-arc rotation on more than 360 degrees and containing rotating coupling for passing of coolant from rack to C-arc module during C-arc rotation. Method of examination of object under interest consists in supply of electric energy and cooling from rack to X-ray source of C-arc module through connecting device, rotation of C-arc on more than 360 degrees together with supply of electric energy and cooling and bringing coolant from rack to module during C-arc rotation by means of rotating coupling. Machine-readable carrier stores computer programme for examination of object under interest in correspondence with the method.

EFFECT: application of invention makes it possible to increase image quality, increase rate of rotation and ensure cooling of X-ray source during complex rotations.
