Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A mobile medical imaging device that allows for multiple support structures, such as a tabletop or a seat, to be attached, and in which the imaging gantry is indexed to the patient by translating up and down the patient axis. In one embodiment, the imaging gantry can translate, rotate and/or tilt with respect to a support base, enabling imaging in multiple orientations, and can also rotate in-line with the support base to facilitate easy transport and/or storage of the device. The imaging device can be used in, for example, x-ray computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A mobile medical imaging system, comprising: a base having a top surface; a gantry ring comprising an outer shell containing an image collection apparatus and defining an inner bore, the gantry ring coupled to the base and positioned above the top surface of the base, the gantry ring rotatable relative to the base at least about 90 degrees with respect to an axis extending generally normal to the top surface of the base, the gantry ring having an inner bor…
