Movable X-ray generation apparatus

摘要

A movable X-ray generation apparatus includes an X-ray tube configured to perform irradiation with X-rays, an arm configured to support the X-ray tube, a cart unit configured to support and move the arm, and a monitor mounted on the upper portion of the cart unit. The movable X-ray generation apparatus includes a first member configured to support the monitor to be pivotable about a first rotation axis, and a second member configured to support the first member to be pivotable about a second rotation axis different from the first rotation axis with respect to the cart unit. At least one of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis provides a rotation axis parallel to the display surface of the monitor and perpendicular to a moving surface on which the cart unit moves.

1. A movable X-ray generation apparatus comprising:
an X-ray tube configured to perform irradiation with X-rays; an arm configured to support the X-ray tube, the arm including an extending mechanism for extending the arm to move the X-ray tube in a horizontal direction; a column configured to support the arm; a cart unit configured to support the column and move the arm, wherein the X-ray tube is configured to be moved into and out of an accommodation configuration; a monitor, including a screen; a monitor support arm, mounted on an upper portion of the cart unit, configured to support the monitor, wherein the monitor support arm is located at a position where the X-ray tube does not interfere with the monitor in a state in which the X-ray tube is in the accommodation configuration, unless the arm is extended by the extending mechanism; a first member configured to support the monitor to be pivotable about a first rotation axis; and a second member configured to support the first member to be pivotable about a second rotation axis different from the first rotation axis, wherein at least one of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis is perpendicular to a moving surface on which the cart unit moves, and wherein the X-ray tube is between the column and the monitor when in the accommodation state.
