PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide medical imaging C arm equipment where volume is reduced thereby to facilitate usage in an operation or inspection state, while permitting enlargement of a movement range and position range without complicating a structure, and at the same time, a gap between a radiation source and a detector is enlarged thereby to facilitate the approach of the equipment to a patient.SOLUTION: Medical imaging equipment comprises: a support assembly an arc-shaped member slidably mounted on the support assembly a radiation source mounted on the arc-shaped member in the vicinity of a first distal end of the arc-shaped member and being oriented to radiate along the direction of an imaging axis and a detector mounted on the arc-shaped member in the vicinity of the second distal end of the arc-shaped member and being oriented to face the source along the imaging axis, wherein the radiation source and the detector are respectively mounted on one side and the other of the mid plane of the arc-shaped member.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】構造を複雑化せずに、移動範囲及び位置範囲の拡大を許しつつ、運転又は検査の状況において利用し易いように容積を小さくすると同時に、装置が患者に接近し易いように線源と検出器との間の間隙を広くした医用イメージングCアーム装置を提供する。【解決手段】支持アセンブリと、支持アセンブリに摺動自在に装着されている円弧形部材と、円弧形部材の第一の末梢端の近傍で円弧形部材に装着されて、撮像軸の方向に沿って放射を行なうように配向している放射線源と、撮像軸に沿って線源に対向して、円弧形部材の第二の末梢端の近傍で円弧形部材に装着されている検出器とを備えた医用イメージング装置である。放射線源及び検出器は、円弧形部材の中間面の一方の側及び他方の側にそれぞれ位置している。【選択図】図2
