United States Patent Application 20150327817

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a medical method of managing a cerebrovascular insult, the method comprising the following steps in this order:

• • a) placing a patient on a patient support unit;
  • b) positioning a mobile tomographic imaging system in a predetermined position relative to the patient support unit with the patient placed on the patient support unit;
  • c) imaging at least part of the patient's brain using an imaging unit of the tomographic imaging system, the imaging comprising in particular generating an image describing the functioning of the patient's blood vessel system;
  • d) determining, in dependence on the result of the imaging,
    • whether the patient support unit should be rotated relative to the tomographic imaging system with the patient placed on the patient support unit so that the patient is free of the imaging unit in order to conduct a medical intervention on the patient's blood vessel system, or
    • whether the patient support unit may remain in its position relative to the tomographic imaging system with the patient placed on the patient support unit.
