Base for radiographic device

摘要

A radiographic device may include a movable carriage disposed in a base and having a tray for holding an image receptor. A platform extending over the base may support the weight of the patient independent of the image receptor. The carriage may permit tray movement in lateral and longitudinal directions, thereby to align a desired portion of the image receptor with the patient target area and x-ray source. A base collimator may have one or more blades that are slidable to cover portions of the image receptor that are not being used in the current image capture process.

主权项

1. A radiographic device for use with an image receptor, the radiographic device comprising:
a base assembly including:
a frame defining a frame top opening; anda platform supported by the frame and extending over the frame top opening, the platform defining a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction substantially perpendicular to the lateral direction, the platform and frame defining a base receptacle disposed below the platform; an arm assembly having a first end pivotably coupled to the base assembly and a second end; a radiographic head coupled to the arm assembly second end; and a carriage assembly disposed in the base receptacle and including a tray sized to receive the image receptor, the tray being supported for movement in both the lateral and longitudinal directions.
