Radiological imaging device

1. A radiological imaging device comprising:

a gantry defining an analysis area configured to contain at least a portion of a patient to be analyzed and a circular extension trajectory extending around a central axis, said gantry comprising:

a source configured to emit radiation;

a detector configured to receive said radiation after said radiation has passed through said analysis area; and

a casing defining a housing volume for at least said source and said detector, wherein said casing comprises:

a bottom arched module;

arched modules housed in said bottom arched module, and configured to vary the angular extension of said casing and of said housing volume keeping said source and said detector in said housing volume; and

a movement apparatus, outside said housing volume, configured to move said arched modules to vary extension of said arched modules in opposite rotation directions along a circular trajectory,

wherein the radiological imaging device performs at least two of tomography, fluoroscopy, and X-ray.

2. The radiological imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein said gantry further comprises at least one support configured to constrain said source and said detector to said casing and inside said housing volume.

3. The radiological imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein said gantry further comprises a first support constraining said source to said bottom arched module and a second support constraining said detector to said mobile arched module.

4. The radiological imaging device according to claim 3 , wherein said first support constrains said source to said bottom arched module in a cantilever such that said mobile arched module at least partially comes between said source and said bottom arched module.

5. The radiological imaging device according to claim 4 , wherein said first support comprises:

a prop integral with said bottom arched module and configured to support said source cantilevered; and

a retractable foot configured to rest on one of said arched modules and to support said source on the side opposite to said prop.

6. The radiological imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein said movement apparatus further comprises:

a bottom guide integral with said bottom arched module and defining a circular movement bottom trajectory substantially centered with respect to said central axis;

a mobile guide integral with said mobile arched module and defining a circular movement mobile trajectory substantially centered with respect to said central axis;

a thrust assembly configured to engage said guides, ordering the rotation of at least part of said arched modules around said central axis to vary the angular extension of said casing; and

at least one through slot made on said bottom arched module and suitable to overlap said mobile guide allowing an engagement between said thrust assembly and said mobile guide when said mobile arched module is inside said bottom arched module.

7. The radiological imaging device according to claim 6 , wherein said movement apparatus comprises:

a first engagement element engaged with said bottom guide configured to command the rotation of said bottom arched module; and

a second engagement element engaged with said mobile guide configured to command the rotation of said mobile arched module.

8. The radiological imaging device according to claim 7 , wherein said first engagement element and said second engagement element define respectively a first engagement zone and a second engagement zone at least partly overlapping each other radially.

9. The radiological imaging device according to claim 7 , wherein said thrust assembly comprises a plurality of said first engagement elements that are mutually angularly spaced along said circular extension trajectory to engage with said bottom guide at distinct points.

10. The radiological imaging device according to claim 9 , wherein said first engagement elements have a mutual angular distance substantially between 10° and 30°.

11. The radiological imaging device according to claim 7 , wherein said thrust assembly comprises a plurality of said second engagement elements that are mutually angularly spaced along said circular extension trajectory to engage with said mobile guide at distinct points.

12. The radiological imaging device according to claim 11 , wherein said second engagement elements have a mutual angular distance substantially between 10° and 30°.

13. The radiological imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein said gantry comprises a lock configured to block the relative sliding between said bottom arched module and said mobile arched module defining a locked position that prevents the relative movement between said bottom arched module and said mobile arched module and a release position that allows relative movement between said bottom arched module and said mobile arched module.

14. The radiological imaging device according to claim 13 , comprising a control unit configured to command the passage of said lock into its locked position allowing a thrust assembly in said movement apparatus to rotate said gantry around said central axis, and configured to control the passage of said lock into the release position allowing said thrust assembly to reciprocally rotate said bottom arched module and said mobile arched module defining a changed configuration of said gantry.
