Abstract

The workstation has a radiation-detector arrangement that includes a holding element connected to a patient couch (1). An X-ray source (6) and detector (7) are fixed to the holding element and can be moved in the x and y directions. The X-ray source and detector can be moved synchronously through the same amount in both the x and y directions.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen urologischen Arbeitsplatz mit einer Röntgenstrahlungsquelle- und Strahlungsempfänger- Anordnung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs.The invention relates to a urological workplace with an X-ray source and Radiation receiver arrangement according to the preamble of the main claim.

Eine solche Anordnung ist beispielsweise aus der DE 42 10 423 C1 bekannt. Um den diagnostisch relevanten Bereich des Patienten in die Bildmitte der Röntgenstrahlungsquelle- und Strahlungsempfänger- Anordnung zu positionieren wird dort die Patientenlagerungsplatte relativ gegenüber dem Halteelement für Strahlungsquelle und Strahlungsempfänger in X und Y Richtung verschoben. Dies hat nachteilig zur Folge, daß sich die Position zwischen Arzt und Patient ändert, sobald ein anderer diagnostisch relevanter Bereich des Patienten betrachtet wird.Such an arrangement is known for example from DE 42 10 423 C1. To the diagnostically relevant area of the patient in the center of the image of the X-ray source and positioning the radiation receiver arrangement there will be the patient support plate relative to the holding element for radiation source and radiation receiver in X and Y direction shifted. This has the disadvantage that the position between the doctor and Patient changes as soon as another diagnostically relevant area of the patient is viewed becomes.

Ferner sind aus dem Stand der Technik, etwa der EP 0333256 A1 Vorrichtungen bekannt, bei denen Strahlungsquelle und Strahlungsempfänger an der Decke hängend relativ zu einer feststehenden Patientenliege verfahrbar sind. Nachteilig ist hier neben der Notwendigkeit einer Deckenmontage auch die Tatsache, daß sich hier das Halteelement relativ zur Patientenliege bewegt. Dies kann ebenfalls zur Störung des behandelnden Arztes führen.Furthermore, devices are known from the prior art, for example EP 0333256 A1 which radiation source and radiation receiver hanging from the ceiling relative to one fixed patient bed are movable. Another disadvantage here is the necessity a ceiling mounting also the fact that here the holding element relative to Patient couch moved. This can also disrupt the attending physician.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung einen urologischen Arbeitsplatz zu schaffen, bei welchem die bekannten Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermieden werden und insbesondere die Position des Patienten und des Halteelements für Strahlungsquelle und Strahlungsempfänger auch dann unverändert bleibt, wenn ein anderer diagnostisch relevanter Bereich des Patienten in die Bildmitte der Röntgenstrahlungsquelle- und Strahlungsempfänger- Anordnung zu positionieren wird.It is therefore an object of the present invention to create a urological work station, in which the known disadvantages of the prior art are avoided and in particular the position of the patient and the holding element for the radiation source and Radiation receiver remains unchanged even if another is diagnostic relevant area of the patient in the center of the image of the X-ray source and Radiation receiver arrangement will be positioned.

Die Aufgabe wird gelößt durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Die jeweiligen Unteransprüche sind Weiterbildungen und/oder vorteilshafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.The respective subclaims are further developments and / or advantageous configurations the invention.

Die Überlegungen, welche zu der Entstehung der vorliegenden Erfindung führten gingen davon aus, daß die Einheit Patient, Patientenlagerungsplatte und das Tragelement für die Röntgenstrahlungsquelle- und den Strahlungsempfänger ortsfest bleiben kann, wenn die Röntgenstrahlungsquelle und der Strahlungsempfänger sich gegenüber dem Tragelement bewegen. Durch zueinander synchrones Bewegen von Röntgenstrahlungsquelle und Strahlungsempfänger läßt sich der diagnostisch relevante Bereich des Patienten anfahren.The considerations that led to the creation of the present invention went assume that the unit patient, patient support plate and the support element for the X-ray source and the radiation receiver can remain stationary if the  X-ray source and the radiation receiver are opposite the support element move. By moving the X-ray source and Radiation receivers can be approached to the diagnostically relevant area of the patient.

Nachfolgend ist ein mögliches Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand einer stark vereinfachten schematisierten Zeichnung näher erläutert.Below is a possible embodiment of the invention based on a strong simplified schematic drawing explained in more detail.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Patientenliege 1. Die Patientenliege 1 ist fest mit einem Halteelement 2 verbunden. Das Halteelement 2 ist seinerseits mit der Standsäule 3 verbunden. Diese Verbindung kann fest oder auch verstellbar ausgebildet sein. Die Verstellmöglichkeit kann sich sowohl auf eine Höhenveränderung der Einheit aus Halteelement 2 und Patientenliege 1 beschränken als auch eine zusätzliche Verschwenkung der Einheit aus Halteelement 2 und Patientenliege 1 umfassen. Die Patientenliege 1 ist etwa in der Mitte des Halteelements 2 befestigt, ein Teil des Halteelements 2 erstreckt oberhalb der Patientenliege 1, der andere unterhalb der Patientenliege 1. Fig. 1 shows a patient bed 1. The patient bed 1 is firmly connected to a holding element 2 . The holding element 2 is in turn connected to the column 3 . This connection can be fixed or adjustable. The adjustment possibility can be limited to a change in the height of the unit consisting of the holding element 2 and the patient bed 1 , as well as an additional pivoting of the unit consisting of the holding element 2 and the patient bed 1 . The patient bed 1 is fastened approximately in the middle of the holding element 2 , part of the holding element 2 extends above the patient bed 1 , the other below the patient bed 1 .

An beiden Enden des Halteelement 2 befinden sich bewegliche Halterungen 4 bzw. 5 die durch nicht näher gezeigte Aktoren in X und Y Richtung verfahrbar sind. An der Halterung 4 ist die Röntgenstrahlquelle 6 befestigt, an der Halterung 5 ist der Strahlungsempfänger 7 angebracht.At both ends of the holding element 2 there are movable brackets 4 and 5 which can be moved in the X and Y direction by actuators (not shown). The x-ray source 6 is attached to the holder 4 , and the radiation receiver 7 is attached to the holder 5 .

Zusammen mit den Halterungen 4, 5 sind somit auch Röntgenstrahlquelle 6 und Strahlungsempfänger 7 in X und Y Richtung verfahrbar.Together with the holders 4 , 5 , the X-ray source 6 and the radiation receiver 7 can thus also be moved in the X and Y directions.

Eine Steuerung gewährleistet, daß die Röntgenstrahlquelle 6 und der Strahlungsempfänger 7 synchron verfahren werden. Die Röntgen-Zentralachse scheidet die Patientenliege 1 im wesentlichen senkrecht.A controller ensures that the X-ray source 6 and the radiation receiver 7 are moved synchronously. The central x-ray axis divides the patient bed 1 essentially vertically.

Durch das synchrone Verfahren von Röntgenstrahlquelle 6 und Strahlungsempfänger 7 kann der diagnostizierte Bereich des Patienten entsprechend der Wünsche des behandelnden Arztes in weiten Bereichen verändert werden.By means of the synchronous method of the X-ray source 6 and the radiation receiver 7 , the diagnosed area of the patient can be changed over a wide range in accordance with the wishes of the treating doctor.

Durch nicht synchrones Verfahren Röntgenstrahlquelle 6 und Strahlungsempfänger 7 kann auch eine sogenannte Schichtaufnahme durchgeführt werden. Hierzu ist dann eine zusätzliche Drehung der Röntgenstrahlquelle 6 nötig. A so-called slice recording can also be carried out by the non-synchronous method of the X-ray source 6 and the radiation receiver 7 . This requires an additional rotation of the X-ray source 6 .

Da sich bei dem beschriebenen Gerät nur die Röntgenstrahlquelle 6 und der Strahlungsempfänger 7, welche ausserhalb des Arbeitsbereiches des Arztes angeordnet sind bewegen, die übrigen Teile des urologischen Arbeitsplatzes und auch der Patient jedoch unverändert bleiben ermöglicht die vorliegende Erfindung ein ungestörtes Arbeiten, was insbesondere bei endoskopischen Eingriffen große Vorteile bringt.Since only the X-ray source 6 and the radiation receiver 7 , which are arranged outside the working area of the doctor, move in the device described, but the remaining parts of the urological work station and the patient remain unchanged, the present invention enables undisturbed working, which is particularly the case with endoscopic work Interventions bring great benefits.
