Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention;

1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of an X-ray imaging apparatus equipped with a mammoth function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the X-ray imaging apparatus 100 with a mammoth function according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on the base 110, the base 110 for supporting the upper structure Lifting member 130, the lifting member 130 is installed so as to lift and displace in the vertical direction to the support pillar 120, the rotary arm support member 140 connected to the front upper portion of the elevating member 130, the rotary arm Supported by the support member 140 and installed on the elevating member 130 is provided between the rotary arm 150, the X-ray light source unit 153 and the sensor unit 157, between the rotary arm and the rotary arm support member Is interposed, the rotary arm driving means 160 to rotate the X-ray light source unit 153 and the sensor unit 157 around the rotation axis by driving the rotary arm 150, and tilting the rotary arm 150 The axis of rotation of the X-ray light source unit 153 and the sensor unit 157 in parallel or perpendicular to the support column. It includes a tilting device 170 to change.

The base 110 supports the support pillars 120 on which the components are installed, and the support pillars 120 are installed on one side of the base 110.

In addition, the support pillar 120 is provided with a lifting member 130 and the lifting member 130 is provided with a control motor and the like can be moved up and down to adjust the height according to the height of the patient.

In addition, the panoramic and CT photographing unit 190 is installed on the front surface of the elevating member 130, and the jaw support member 143 is connected to the lower portion of the elevating member 130 in the vertical direction.

The jaw support member 143 is a place where the patient's jaw is positioned, and the head of the patient is positioned between the X-ray light source unit 153 and the X-ray sensor unit 157 provided in the rotation arm 150. Do it.

And the jaw support member 143 is provided with a length adjusting member 147 can be used to adjust the length as needed.

In addition, the jaw support member 143 may be provided with a detachable member (not shown) to attach and detach the lifting member 130.

In addition, the rotary arm support member 140 is connected in a vertical direction to an upper surface of the elevating member 130.

The rotary arm support member 140 supports the rotary arm 150 by the rotary arm driving means 160, and the rotary arm driving means 160 drives the rotary arm 150 and the X-ray The light source unit 153 and the X-ray sensor unit 157 rotate around the rotation axis.

In addition, the rotating arm 150 is an X-ray including an X-ray light source unit 153 for generating X-rays and a panoramic sensor and CT sensor for detecting X-rays generated by the X-ray light source unit 153 and passing through the object. The sensor unit 157 is disposed to face each other.

The X-ray light source unit 153 generates X-rays and irradiates the patient as an object, and a collimator (not shown) is provided in the X-ray light source unit 153 to pass the generated X-rays through the object to the X-ray sensor unit. Examine (157).

And the tilting device 170 for tilting the rotary arm 150 is provided between the rotary arm support member 140 and the rotary arm driving means 160 is driven and driven according to the rotation of the tilting device 170 It can be used as an X-ray apparatus or a surgical X-ray apparatus.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the X-ray imaging apparatus 100 is used as the dental X-ray imaging apparatus 100, the X-ray light source unit 153 and the X-ray sensor unit 157 rotate in the plane of the x-axis and the y-axis. The rotation axis is the z axis, and the rotation axis of the X-ray light source unit 153 and the X-ray sensor unit 157 is used in a state parallel to the support pillar 120.

In addition, when the X-ray imaging apparatus 100 is used as the surgical X-ray imaging apparatus 100 for diagnosing breast cancer as shown in FIG. 2, the X-ray light source unit 153 and the X-ray sensor unit 157 may have a y-axis. The axis of rotation is rotated in the plane of the z-axis and its axis of rotation becomes the x-axis, and the support shaft 120 rotates the axis of rotation of the X-ray light source unit 153 and the X-ray sensor unit 157 so that the rotary arm 150 is at the chest of the patient. ) And use it in the vertical direction.

In this case, the rotation axis may be changed from the z axis to the x axis by the tilting device 170 tilting the rotating arm 150 by 90 degrees.

And when used as the surgical X-ray imaging apparatus further includes a breast pressing member 180 between the X-ray light source unit 153 and the X-ray sensor unit 157, the breast pressing member 180 is the rotary arm 150 ) Can be detached.

The breast compressing member 180 is a pressing plate 182 for compressing the breast, a main body 184 having a moving means for moving the breast compressing plate 182 and a detachable part for detachable attachment to the rotating arm 150. (188).

When breast cancer is diagnosed by the surgical X-ray imaging apparatus 100, when the patient stands on the X-ray imaging apparatus 100, the breast compression member 180 is attached to the rotary arm 150 and the breast compression is performed. The body of the member 180 moves the breast compression plate 182 according to the chest height of the patient 200.

Thereafter, the patient 200 places the breast on the X-ray sensor unit 147, and presses the breast as flat as possible with the breast pressure plate 182.

The X-ray imaging does not take a picture when the patient's breast is still on the plate, but the breast lesion is distinguished from the normal structure only when a significant pressure is applied to all the breasts.

This is because the radiation dose is minimized, the breast tissue is stretched well, and smaller cancers can be found.

 If it is not pressed properly, the amount of X-rays transmitted to the patient increases, and the mammogram is blurred, and the lesions cannot be found.

Therefore, the X-ray imaging apparatus of the present invention can perform not only dental X-ray imaging but also surgical breast cancer diagnostic X-ray imaging, so that the quality of the hospital service, device utilization, and space utilization are increased, and the cost of the mammogram function becomes low. A line photographing device can be provided.

1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of an X-ray imaging apparatus equipped with a mammoth function according to an embodiment of the present invention.
