Definitions
- the invention relates to an error protection circuit for an X-ray device and to an X-ray device having such an error protection circuit.
- Error protection circuits are used to avoid the delivery of high radiation doses due to operator errors.
- X-ray devices have at least one image receiver.
- the image receiver is used to record X-ray images of a patient or body to be examined, which is transilluminated by the X-radiation of an X-ray source.
- the image receiver comprises a cassette tray in which a cassette-shaped X-ray detector is inserted.
- the x-ray detector may, for. B. be an X-ray film cassette.
- the cassette tray also includes an exposure measuring chamber required for automatic exposure time adjustment.
- the exposure measuring chamber has the task of measuring the radiation dose occurring at the X-ray detector and triggering a switch-off signal for the X-ray source when a predetermined measured value is reached.
- Cassette store and other image receivers can z. B. arranged on patient support tables, on C-arms, floor stands or cymbal stands. Further possibilities of arrangement of image receivers are conceivable without further ado. Depending on which x-ray exposure sites are to be realized, x-ray facilities have one or more
- Image receiver To generate an X-ray image, an X-ray detector must be inserted into the respective image receiver and the X-ray source must be aligned with the image receiver.
- an x-ray detector is not fundamentally inserted in each of the existing image receivers must, and in addition, from the outside also does not have to be recognizable if an X-ray detector is inserted, it can lead to operator error. In particular, it may happen that the X-ray source is switched on, although no X-ray detector is inserted in the corresponding image receiver. The dose of radiation administered in the process puts a burden on the screened patient or body, since no X-ray can be generated without an X-ray detector.
- an exposure measurement chamber assigned to this X-ray detector In the case of X-ray devices with a plurality of image receivers, in addition to the insertion of the X-ray detector, an exposure measurement chamber assigned to this X-ray detector must also be activated. Therefore, it is possible that an X-ray detector is inserted into the correct image receiver, but that the exposure measuring chamber assigned to this X-ray detector has not been activated. Namely, an operator may erroneously select the wrong image receiver even though he has inserted the X-ray detector in the correct image receiver. If an X-ray exposure is then triggered with an automatic exposure, very high radiation exposure occurs since the mistakenly selected exposure measuring chamber does not receive X-ray radiation. The X-ray radiation hits the exposure measuring chamber of the correct, but not yet selected image receiver. If, however, the selected exposure measuring chamber does not receive a radiation dose, it will not generate a switch-off signal for the X-ray source since the dose limit value is not reached.
- Raster contact of the image receiver is closed.
- a raster contact is provided for image receivers having a moving anti-scatter grid.
- the solution is not suitable for image receiver without or with fixed anti-scatter grid.
- the object of the invention is to enable the avoidance of high radiation exposures by operator error in the most inexpensive and versatile manner possible.
- the invention solves this problem by a fault protection circuit with the features of the first claim and by an X-ray device with the features of the sixth claim.
- the error protection circuit has at least one input, via which a detector detection signal of a detector detection means can be received, which is characteristic of the presence of an X-ray detector, furthermore at least one input via which a selection signal for an exposure measuring means can be received.
- This is for activating an exposure metering Characteristic is, and further at least one output, via which a deactivation signal can be emitted, wherein the deactivation signal is generated in response to receiving a detector detection signal and a same detector as the detector detection signal associated selection signal.
- the selection signal indicates which image receiver was selected, while the detector detection signal indicates whether an X-ray detector was actually inserted in the selected image receiver.
- the error situation in which it was forgotten to insert a detector is avoided.
- the error situation, in which an X-ray detector was indeed inserted into the correct image receiver, however the false image receiver was activated is reliably detected.
- a signal for the detection which image receiver is to be used
- a signal is used with the selection signal for the exposure measuring means, which is available anyway in the X-ray device.
- another modification of the X-ray device is not required.
- the signal of a detector detection means is used. If the image receiver does not provide such a signal anyway, a corresponding sensor or contact can be implemented with little effort.
- the error protection circuit has a logic or. logic circuit which combines the detector detection signal with the selection signal to form the deactivation signal.
- the logical operation consists merely in linking the detector detection signal and the selection signal for one and the same image receiver in such a way that a deactivation signal is generated unless both input signals are positive.
- the deactivation signal can be used by the X-ray device to prevent the generation of X-radiation.
- the deactivation signal is generated if a detector detection signal is received, but no selection signal associated with the same detector as the detector detection signal. This signal level indicates that, although an X-ray detector has been inserted, the wrong image receiver has been selected.
- the deactivation signal is generated if a selection signal is received, but no detector detector signal associated with the same detector as the selection signal. This signal level indicates that, although the correct image receiver has been selected, it has been forgotten to insert an X-ray detector.
- the deactivation signal is designed to be received by an X-ray generator.
- the error protection circuit can prevent the generation of an X-ray image by preventing the X-ray generator from applying an X-ray voltage to the X-ray source. It is thus immediately and without error-prone detours the generation of X-rays prevented.
- the deactivation signal is designed to provide a signal for deactivating signals, for. B. for contact signals, intended input of the X-ray generator.
- the error protection circuit only needs to be connected to an input of the X-ray generator, which is usually present anyway.
- the input for a door contact signal is usually present to prevent the triggering of X-ray recordings as long as the door to the control room, which contains the X-ray control, is not closed. This serves the protection of the operating personnel from unnecessary radiation exposure.
- the utilization of such already existing inputs of the X-ray generator makes any modification of the X-ray generator unnecessary. This makes it possible, among other things, to inexpensively retrofit the fault protection circuit with already installed X-ray devices.
- a further basic concept of the invention resides in an X-ray device with at least one image receiver, which comprises at least one detector detection means, by which a detector detection signal can be generated which is indicative of the presence of an X-ray detector and which comprises at least one exposure measuring means generated by an X-ray generated by the X-ray device Selection signal is activated, and with a previously described error protection circuit.
- Fig. 1 X-ray device with several image receivers
- Fig. 2 X-ray generator with image receivers and error protection circuit
- Fig. 3 Logical connection within the error protection circuit.
- Fig. 1 shows an X-ray device by means of which different X-ray exposure sites can be realized.
- X-ray exposure should always be understood to mean a specific posture of the patient to be examined with an associated orientation of X-ray emitter and image receiver.
- the X-ray device has an X-ray source 6, which is mounted rotatably about a horizontal axis 7 in a C-arm 1. Furthermore, an image receiver 8 is mounted in the C-arm 1.
- the C-arm 1 is rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis 5 in a ceiling stand 4.
- the ceiling stand 4 has options for vertical adjustment, rotation and horizontal method of the ceiling stand 4.
- the horizontal mobility is indicated by a double arrow 2.
- the X-ray device further comprises a patient couch 12, which is mounted on a standing on the floor of the examination room foot. Below the patient bed 12 is a patient couch 12, which is mounted on a standing on the floor of the examination room foot. Below the patient bed 12 is a patient couch 12, which is mounted on a standing on the floor of the examination room foot. Below the patient bed 12 is a patient couch 12, which is mounted on a standing on the floor of the examination room foot. Below the patient bed 12 is a
- Image receiver 11 arranged, which is shown without further details.
- the image receiver 11 is designed as a cassette tray, which can be pulled out like a drawer under the patient couch 11 in order, for example, to insert or remove an X-ray detector.
- the C-arm 1 is aligned so that the X-ray source 6 is aligned with the image receiver 11.
- a floor stand 15 which likewise carries an image receiver 14.
- the image receiver 14 is used to generate X-rays on standing patients, to which also the X-ray source 6 must be aligned accordingly.
- an operator To generate an X-ray image, an operator must position the patient, insert an X-ray detector into the desired image receiver 8, 11, 14 and activate the image receiver 8, 11, 14 by selecting the respective exposure measuring chamber.
- an X-ray generator 30 with error protection circuit 31 and image receivers 40, 50 is shown schematically. In addition, the corresponding signal connections are symbolized by arrow lines.
- the X-ray generator 30 has an input 39 for a deactivation signal. If the x-ray generator 30 receives a positive signal via the input 39, the generation of an x-ray voltage is prevented. By inhibiting the generation of x-ray voltage required to operate an x-ray source, the generation of x-rays is immediately prevented.
- the input 39 may, for. B. be the signal input for a door contact.
- the image receivers 40, 50 have detector detection means 42, 52 which detect the respective presence of an X-ray detector.
- the detector detection means 42, 52 generate a positive signal if an X-ray detector is inserted. This signal is output to corresponding inputs 34, 36 of the error protection circuit 31.
- the image receivers 40, 50 further comprise exposure measuring means with measuring fields 45, 46, 47, 55, 56, 57.
- the exposure measuring means or. their measuring fields are activated by a respective selection signal, which is generated by the x-ray generator 30.
- the respective selection signal is used to activate at least one measuring field 45, 46, 47, 55, 56, 57 of the image receiver 40, 50 which is to be used to generate an X-ray image.
- the selection signal goes next to the image receivers 40, 50 via corresponding inputs 35, 37 and the error protection circuit 31 to.
- the error protection circuit 31 comprises a logic, not shown, which combines the input signals at the inputs 34, 35, 36, 37 as described below.
- the exposure measuring means 45, 46, 47 has been selected in time, so that no deactivation signal is generated.
- the selection signals for the exposure measuring means 45, 46, 47 are therefore OR-linked.
- the result of the OR operation is ANDed with the signal from the detector detection means 42.
- the result of the AND operation is inverted to obtain the deactivation signal.
- a positive signal means in each case that the x-ray detector is present or not. an exposure meter is selected resp. the deactivation signal is active.
- An inversion of the meaning of the respective signal would be readily possible and would have to be taken into account by a corresponding change in the logic operations described. Corresponding changes are, however, readily apparent from the effect of the described logic, so that they need not be explained in detail here.
- the signals of the image receiver 50 are linked in the same way as the signals of the image receiver 40.
- both image receivers 40, 50 On the basis of a combination of the logical signals, which are obtained from the individual signals of the two image receivers 40, 50, it is possible to detect further erroneous operating situations. If the signal state of both image receivers 40, 50 results in the generation of the deactivation signal, this should actually be generated. If, however, the signal state of both image receivers 40, 50 always results in the suppression of the deactivation signal, then it can be assumed that both image receivers 40, 50 were selected by mistake and in each case an X-ray detector was inserted. The simultaneous use of both image receivers 40, 50 can, however, fundamentally be excluded, since an X-ray source can be aligned only on one of the image receptor.
- the signals for the two image receivers 40, 50 are OR-linked and then inverted. As a result of this link, the deactivation signal is only suppressed if exactly one image receiver 40, 50 is selected and an X-ray detector is inserted.
- the logic signal “1" should be present at the signal input 34, which indicates the presence of an X-ray detector.
- the logic signal “1” should also be present at one of the signal inputs 35, which indicates the activation of an exposure measuring means assigned to the x-ray detector.
- the OR operation 60 the logic signal "1” is present.
- the two signals "1” are linked by the AND operation 61 to the logic signal "1".
- the subsequent inversion 62 gives the logic signal "0" for this half-page of the entire logic.
- the signal input 34 is also the logic signal "1" present, indicating the presence of an X-ray detector.
- the logic signal "0" should be present at the signal inputs 35, which indicates that none of the exposure-measuring means assigned to the detector has been activated. So there is the error situation that, although an X-ray detector was inserted, but no associated lichtungsmessstoff was driven.
- the OR operation 70 then gives the logic signal "0".
- the signals are linked by the AND operation 71 to the logic signal "0".
- the subsequent inversion 72 gives the logical signal "1" for this half-page of the overall logic.
- the logic signal "1" as a result of the inversion 72 leads, regardless of the signal situation of the other half-side of the overall logic, that the OR operation 80 results in the logical signal "1". This is generated at the signal output 38 of the error protection circuit 31.
- the logic signal "1" at the signal output 38 is equivalent to the generation of the deactivation signal by the error protection circuit 31.
- the invention can be summarized as follows.
- the invention relates to an error protection circuit 31 for an X-ray device.
- the error protection circuit 31 has at least one input 34, 36, via which a detector detection signal of a Detektorerkennungsmit- 42, 52 is receivable, which indicates the presence of a
- X-ray detector is characterized, and at least one input 35, 37, via which a selection signal for an exposure measuring means 45, 46, 47, 55, 56, 57 is receivable, which is for activating an exposure measuring means 45, 46, 47, 55, 56, 57 is characteristic. Via at least one output 38 of the
- Error protection circuit 31 is a deactivation signal deliverable, wherein the deactivation signal is generated in response to a detector detection signal and a same detector as the detector detection signal associated selection signal are not received simultaneously.
