The present invention relates to a device for compression of the lower extremities for medical imaging purposes, in particular for diagnostic purposes at complementary examination using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) wherein the device comprises a waist arrangement (1) to be placed around and in firm contact with the hip region of a patient, a knee arrangement (2) to be placed in the vicinity of and in firm contact with the knee of a patient, a foot plate (7) comprising pressure sensors (13, 13a) and being arranged to accommodate a foot or the feet of a patient, whereby said sensors (13, 13a) are arranged to monitor the pressure of the respective foot on said foot plate (7), strings (12) connecting said waist arrangement (1) and said foot plate (7) arrangement, which strings (12) can be stretched independently of each other and comprise each a tension meter (13) to monitor the force by which the strings (12) are strained.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de compression des extrémités inférieures à des fins d'imagerie médicale, notamment à des fins diagnostiques lors d'une examination complémentaire utilisant la tomographie assistée par ordinateur ou l'imagerie par résonnance magnétique. Le dispositif comporte un ensemble taille (1) à placer autour de la zone de la hanche d'un patient et en contact étroit avec ladite zone et un ensemble genou (2) à placer à proximité du genou du patient et en contact étroit avec le genou, une plaque de pied (7), comprenant des détecteurs de pression (13, 13a), conçue pour recevoir le(s) pied(s) du patient, les détecteurs (13, 13a) étant conçus pour surveiller la pression du pied situé sur la plaque (7), des fils (12) reliant l'ensemble taille (1) à l'ensemble plaque de pied (7), les fils (12) pouvant être tendus indépendamment les uns des autres et comprenant chacun un tensiomètre (13) destiné à surveiller la force de tension des fils (12).
