1. A mobile base configured to support a medical imaging machine comprising:
- at least two drive wheels configured to be driven respectably by a traction motor and a direction motor;
a processing unit in communication with the traction motor and the direction motor and configured to input instruction values corresponding to at least one of destination, trajectory, and orientation of the mobile base, and data on position of the medical imaging machine, and to generate as an output a respective direction and speed for each drive wheel to position and orient the mobile base; and
an optical positioning system comprising a gyrolaser, a read system and a memory, the system configured to compute a position of the medical imaging machine in the predefined fixed referential system on the basis of reflections from reflectors positioned about a defined space, the positions of the reflectors stored in the memory, to move and orient the mobile base to one or more desired positions in the defined space.

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.

18. An X-ray machine comprising:
-
an X-ray tube configured to emit an X-ray beam along a direction of emission; an X-ray detector aligned in the direction of emission of the X-ray beam and positioned to face the X-ray tube, wherein the X-ray machine is mounted on a mobile base comprising; at least two drive wheels configured to be driven respectably by a traction motor and a direction motor; a processing unit in communication with the traction motor and the direction motor and configured to input instruction values corresponding to at least one of destination, trajectory, and orientation of the mobile base, and data on position of the X-ray machine, and to generate as an output a respective direction and speed for each drive wheel to position and orient the mobile base; and an optical positioning system comprising a gyrolaser, a read system and a memory, the system configured to compute a position of the medical imaging machine in the predefined fixed referential system on the basis of reflections from reflectors positioned about a defined space, the positions of the reflectors stored in the memory, to move and orient the mobile base to one or more desired positions in the defined space.
