Definitions
- the invention relates to an X-ray diagnostic device for creating X-ray images using an X-ray device with a radiation-sensitive sensor to be arranged intraorally or extraorally in a patient's mouth and an externally arranged X-ray device, and with this communicating personal computer (PC), which provides a standardized bus system , which is matched to an image capture card (PC board), preferably configured as a plug-in card, which contains connection elements for operating voltages and connection elements for the provided bus system of the PC.
- PC personal computer
- the devices are either external devices which are provided for connection to a PC or plug-in cards of standardized size are used which are in the PC can be installed.
- the plug-in cards are always dependent on the bus system provided by the PC.
- bus systems There are currently at least four bus systems (ISA, EISA, VL and PCI). These bus systems currently on the market are not compatible with one another, i.e. not interchangeable. This means that when designing the device-specific plug-in card you have to commit yourself to a bus system and then only those PCs can be used that provide this bus system. When the PC systems are restructured, the card in question can then no longer be used.
- the object of the invention specified in claim 1 is to avoid the disadvantage mentioned and to provide an X-ray diagnostic device which makes it possible to use an X-ray device with a PC which has a standardized bus system. provides to communicate so that you are independent with regard to the installation of the PC board.
- the image capture card can therefore be used anywhere, especially outside the PC.
- the image capture card can either be assigned to the X-ray device used or be used in a separate, self-sufficient housing with its own power supply (built-in power supply unit or battery).
- the structural separation also means that there are fewer problems with regard to safety issues and EMC approval.
- the last-mentioned version can advantageously be designed as a table or wall unit.
- the connection from there to the PC is made by means of a thin cable, and it can advantageously also be done wirelessly, for example via an infrared link.
- a suitable infrared interface can be provided in the PC for this purpose
- FIG. 1 shows a first version of an X-ray diagnostic device in a schematic representation
- FIG. 2 shows the x-ray image acquisition card in an enlarged representation
- FIG. 3 shows an alternative X-ray device for the arrangement shown in FIG. 1,
- FIG. 4 shows an overview of advantageous uses of the image capture card
- FIG. 5 shows another application with multiple networked PCs and devices.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a dental X-ray diagnostic device for creating panoramic slice images of a patient's jaw.
- the device contains a panorama X-ray device 1, as described for example in EP-0 229 308.
- the device contains an X-ray source 2 and diametrically opposite an X-ray sensitive sensor 3. After the structure and mode of operation of such a panoramic X-ray device is known and disclosed, for example, in EP-0 229 308, there is no need to go into more detail here.
- the device also contains a PC 4 with computer 5, keyboard 6 and monitor 7, which are connected to one another in a known manner.
- Numeral 8 denotes an image acquisition card (board), which is preferably designed as a plug-in card and is used for communication between PC 4 and X-ray device 1.
- the image capture card 8 contains at least the electronics required for image capture of the image signals obtained from the sensor 3 and, if appropriate, can also advantageously include electronics for controlling the X-ray device 1, for example for controlling or selecting the programs and / or sequence curves.
- the image capture card 8 can, as will be explained in more detail later, be accommodated either in the housing of the computer 5 or at a suitable point in the X-ray device 1. It can also be advantageous to accommodate the image capture card 8 in a separate, self-sufficient housing.
- the image capture card 8 is structurally designed so that it can be installed in conventional PC's on the market. Now that the PC's provide various bus systems that require different connector strips, the image capture card 8 contains two differently designed direct connectors 10, 11 on the two opposite longitudinal sides.
- the direct connector 10 can be used, for example, for ISA, EISA or VL -Bussy ⁇ teme, the direct connector 11 may be suitable for a PCI bus system. Depending on which bus system the computer 5 provides, the image capture card 8 with the direct connector 10 or 11 can be inserted into the slot provided in the PC.
- the image acquisition card 8 contains two further connectors 12, 13 on one narrow side.
- the connector 12 is a device-specific connector which connects the image acquisition card 8 and the X-ray apparatus communicating with it (item 1 in FIG. 1 and item 20 3) using a suitable device-specific interface card 33.
- This interface card can either be arranged in the X-ray device 1, 20 itself or in the computer 5.
- the connector 13 is a standard connector for connection to the Ethernet.
- the term 'Ethernet' refers to a network connection that uses the globally standardized protocol TCP / IP.
- the image capture card 8 is thus connected via the network connection to the Ethernet electronics contained in the computer 5.
- Bus systems are independent of the direct plugs 10, 11 only those contact elements that transmit the operating voltage (s) are occupied.
- the other contact elements that transmit bus-specific signals remain unoccupied.
- operating voltages for example 5/12 V
- No bus-specific signals are transmitted from the two PC bus connectors 10 and 11.
- the signals and data are transmitted exclusively via the Ethernet connection 13, the network connection 16 and an Ethernet card 17 provided in the computer 5 (FIG. 4).
- the Ethernet card 17 is constructed in such a way that communication and, if necessary, control of the X-ray device is possible via the standardized network connection Ethernet (TCP / IP) in connection with the software installed in the device.
- the network can only be the PC in which the card is inserted; It is also conceivable and within the scope of the invention to integrate the device into a larger network, which then makes it possible with appropriately designed software to control the X-ray device from any connected device. Since the TCP / IP is standardized worldwide and each device is given a worldwide unique number (Internet address), it is possible to address and communicate with every installed device via the Internet.
- FIG. 3 shows an alternative application in which an intraoral X-ray device 20 with an X-ray emitter 21 and an intraoral sensor 22 is present instead of the panorama X-ray device 1 shown in FIG.
- the sensor 12 is detachably connected to the already mentioned interface card 33 via a plug connection 23.
- the data obtained from the sensor 22 'signals are - as in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 - via the interface card 33 and the device-specific plug-in connection 12 of the acquisition card 8 (Fig. 1) supplied.
- FIG. 4 shows an overview of the possible uses of the image capture card 8.
- the computer 5 is shown symbolized on the left. In the simplest version (top left), the image capture card is built into the computer 5.
- the voltage supply takes place via a power supply unit 25 contained in the computer.
- the network connection takes place via an external line 16, which connects the image acquisition card 8 to the Ethernet card 17 located in the computer.
- the image capture card 8 is accommodated in an external housing 26, in which a separate power supply unit 27, which provides the operating voltage (s) mentioned, is also accommodated.
- the power supply 27 can also be designed as an external plug-in power supply.
- the external housing can be designed as a table or wall device - it is advantageously easy to transport and can be connected to any PC-LAN (Local Area Network).
- a corresponding power supply unit 28 is provided in the X-ray device 20, which, among other things, provides the operating voltage required for the image acquisition card 8.
- the connection between the X-ray device and the PC or computer 5 is established via a network connection 16.
- the embodiment shown below corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
- the power supply is designated 29 here.
- the network connection can be wireless.
- a corresponding infrared interface 30 must be provided in the PC.
- the image capture card 8 is accommodated in a small housing 30, which is preferably designed as a hand-held device and in which a corresponding self-sufficient Power supply 32 (battery or accumulator) is housed.
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment with a network 35, via which different x-ray devices 1, 20 can communicate with several PCs (4, 4 ', 4 "). All participants in this network can be arranged at the same or at different locations
- Network 35 may be a LAN (Local Area Network) or a WAN (Wide Area Network).
