Method for determining of mass of patient, involves determining balance-force value for balance position due to tabletop mass and patient mass at location of force sensor

摘要

A force sensor (10a) is attached to table leg (6) of patient table (4) supported with patient (2). Two positions of the tabletop relative to table leg are determined. The force values are determined using force sensor based table top and patient masses. The balance position (XA) of table top is determined based on force values, in which total center of gravity (22) of table top and patient are in predetermined spatial relationship to force sensor. A balance-force value (KA) for balance position is determined due to tabletop mass and patient mass at location of force sensor. An independent claim is included for a device for determining of mass of patient.
