ABSTRACT:
A head-activated fluoroscopic control which is characterized in a preferred embodiment by a continuous wave infrared transmitter located in a cartridge adapted for attachment to eyeglasses, a headband or other headpiece worn by a surgeon or attending physician and a detector or receiver tuned to the frequency of the continuous wave infrared transmitter for receiving a partially collimated infrared signal beam and activating a fluoroscope. The infrared transmitter emits the collimated beam and the beam is received by the receiver when the surgeon's head is turned toward the fluoroscope monitor upon which the receiver rests or in which the receiver is mounted, to facilitate selective operation of the fluoroscope during surgery.
