Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An X-ray CT system including: a rotator including an X-ray tube installed therein; a gantry, arranged on a floor part, and configured to rotatably support the rotator; a cover configured to cover the rotator and the gantry from the outside; and an elastic member, and mounted along the lower edge of the cover, having restoring force, and configured to elastically be in contact with the floor part against the restoring force. The X-ray CT system can reduce noise from inside of the cover.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An X-ray CT system comprising: a rotator having an X-ray tube installed therein; a gantry, arranged on a floor part, and configured to rotatably support the rotator; a cover configured to cover the rotator and the gantry from the outside; and an elastic member, mounted along a lower edge of the cover, and configured to elastically be in contact with the floor part against a restoring force of the elastic member. 2. The X-ray CT system according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is arranged to close a space between the lower edge of the cover and the floor part. 3. The X-ray CT system according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic member comprises a tip-end part being in contact with the floor part and bending inwardly from the lower edge of the cover. 4. The X-ray CT system according to claim 3 , wherein the tip-end part of the elastic member is bent inwardly from the cover before being brought into contact with the floor part. 5. The X-ray CT system according to claim 3 , wherein the tip-end part of the elastic member is formed to be a tapered tip. 6. The X-ray CT system according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is formed by one or more of a natural rubber, synthetic rubber, silicone rubber, polyurethane rubber, and sponge rubber. 7. An X-ray CT system comprising: a rotator having an X-ray tube installed therein; a gantry, arranged on a floor part, and configured to rotatably support the rotator; a cover configured to cover the rotator and the gantry from outside; and an air filter, mounted along a lower edge of the cover, and arranged to close a space between the lower edge and the floor part. 8. The X-ray CT system according to claim 7 , wherein the air filter is formed by a resin material having an X-ray-resistance property. 9. The X-ray CT system according to claim 7 , wherein the air filter is formed by metal meshes.
