Examination space for performing computed tomography images

Abstract

The invention relates to an examination space (1, 33, 61, 101, 132) for performing computed tomography images, in which an imaging device (3, 31, 63, 103, 131) for generating image recordings of a patient, a radiation protection wall (19, 43, 65, 112, 135) for protecting operator (17, 87) for performing image recording, and an operating unit (21, 45, 67, 113) are arranged 137) in the examination space, wherein the operating unit (21, 45, 67, 113, 137) is set up and adapted to input the scanning settings, output received image data, and process the captured image data.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an examination room for performing computed tomography recordings. Background technique [0002] Imaging methods such as computed tomography (CT) are used in the medical field to determine high-resolution cross-sectional images of all body regions and organs of a person. In the case of computed tomography (CT), slices of the body or of the body section to be examined are imaged by means of x-ray radiation. In contrast to conventional x-ray recordings, in computed tomography the body is continuously transmitted through an x-ray beam whose source moves around the patient. [0003] In all imaging methods using X-ray radiation, there are conflicting interests that must be weighed against each other in implementation and operation. On the one hand, the medical professional must be protected against scattered radiation from the imaging device, usually by keeping a certain minimum distance from the device or by corresponding shieldi...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] In classic X-ray examinations, mammography or in the case of digital volume tomography (DVT), constant proximity to the patient cannot be ensured, since here at least the individual recordings are initiated by actuating a separate switch outside the examination room. ongoing

[0008] Such a spatial separation of the patient from the medical or operator leads to increased unreliability which the patient mostly always perceives in such examinations

Correspondingly, it can happen that the patient to be examined is not able to follow the breathing instructions given to him sufficiently or even at all (non-cooperation of the patient), which in the worst case leads to an interruption of the examination
