Abstract

Abstract Translated from German Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur automatischen Ortung und Positionierung eines Patienten und einer anschliessenden Konkrementzertrümmerung, wobei das Konkrement durch zwei Röntgenortungssysteme aufgenommen und auf Bildschirmen (10) und (12) abgebildet wird. Mit einem Lightpen-Meßsystem (8) sind die Koordinaten des so dargestellten Konkrements (32) einem Leitrechner (2) zuführbar, der über vier separate Achsrechner (18) eine Positioniereinrichtung, die in vier Achsen bewegbar ist, steuert und damit das Konkrement (32) exakt in den zweiten Fokus eines Stosswellenreflektors bringt. The invention relates to a device for the automatic localization and positioning of a patient and a subsequent crushing of the concrement, the concrement being recorded by two X-ray location systems and displayed on screens (10) and (12). With a Lightpen measuring system (8), the coordinates of the concrement (32) thus represented can be fed to a master computer (2) which controls a positioning device that can be moved in four axes via four separate axis computers (18) and thus the concrement (32 ) exactly into the second focus of a shock wave reflector.
