MOBILE BIPLANE FLUOROSCOPY APPARATUS WITH FOLDING ARM CONFIGURATIONS

摘要

A foldable biplane G-arm for use with x-ray imaging and fluoroscopic imaging. The system includes a gantry that supports imaging machinery to allow two bi-planar imaging beams to be taken simultaneously or without movement of the equipment and/or patient. Additionally, the system provides a G-arm gantry with a folding arm configuration that can solve prominent problems with traditional C-arm and G-arm gantries. In particular, the folding arm enables the G-arm of the present invention to reduce or eliminate obstacles between surgeons and nurses and more easily adapt for insertion of surgical tables into the system for imaging procedures by pivoting out and away from a center focus point of the support gantry to provide improved access for moving patient tables into and out of position for imaging the patient.
