Mobile base and X-ray machine mounted on such a mobile base
First Claim
1. A mobile base on which is mounted an X-ray machine comprising an X-ray tube configured to emit an X-ray beam along a direction of emission, and an X-ray detector aligned in the direction of emission of the X-ray beam and positioned to face the X-ray tube, the mobile base comprising:
- two orientable drive wheels driven respectably by a traction motor and a direction motor;
a processing unit coupled to the traction motor and the direction motor, wherein the processing unit is configured to input an instruction value on destination, an instructed value on trajectory and data on position of the X-ray machine, the data on position being provided by at least one sensor, and to generate as an output a respective direction and speed for each drive wheel; and
a gyrolaser comprising a read system comprising a data memory storing coordinate positions of reflectors pre-installed in a room in a predefined fixed referential system, the read system configured to compute a position of the X-ray machine in the predefined fixed referential system on the basis of reflections from the reflectors and the positions of the reflectors stored in the data memory to move the mobile base to an operation position in the room.

Abstract
A mobile base designed to receive an X-ray machine is provided. An X-ray machine capable of being mounted on the mobile base is also provided. The X-ray machine of the invention is configured to move using a motor-driven system associated with a navigation system. The navigation system of the invention enables the X-ray machine to be moved automatically and with precision from one position to another within an examination, hybrid or operation room. The X-ray machine is also configured for the automatic positioning of the moving parts around the patient, while at the same time keeping the region to be subjected to radiography within an X-ray beam.
