Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil de formation d'images radioscopiques et de projection d'une structure passée aux rayons X. L'appareil selon l'invention comprend une source de rayons X et un intensificateur d'image montés sur un support commun. Un télémètre associé à l'intensificateur d'image détermine la distance séparant l'intensificateur d'image d'un objet soumis à des rayons X. un ordinateur reçoit les données provenant de l'intensificateur d'image par une carte de saisie vidéo et traite ces données. Un écran associé à l'ordinateur permet d'afficher l'image saisie par rayons X. Par interfaçage avec l'ordinateur, l'utilisateur peut alors, si nécessaire, repérer, rehausser ou découper des structures ou une autre partie anatomique affichée par l'image à rayons X. Un projecteur (par exemple un projecteur laser) reçoit les données correspondant au découpage, rehaussement ou repérage effectué par l'utilisateur, avec l'ordinateur, et projette une image visuelle (par exemple une image laser) sur la peau du patient à l'emplacement de la structure ou de la partie anatomique passée aux rayons X.
