Abstract: An aperture comprises blocking members and for blocking X-rays. The blocking member has: an edge formed on an arc A1 lying on a circumference CF2 of a circle with radius r2 around a focal spot f in an XY-plane; an edge connected to one endpoint of the edge, the edge being formed to lie on the side of the X-ray detector with respect to an arc A11 contiguous to the arc A1; and an edge connected to the other endpoint of the edge, the edge being formed to lie on the side of the X-ray detector with respect to an arc A12 contiguous to the arc A1. The blocking member has: an edge formed on an arc A2 lying on the circumference CF2 of the circle with radius r2 around the focal spot f in the XY-plane; an edge connected to one endpoint of the edge, the edge being formed to lie on the side of the X-ray detector with respect to an arc A21 contiguous to the arc A2; and an edge connected to the other endpoint 23b of the edge, the edge being formed to lie on the side of the X-ray detector with respect to an arc A22 contiguous to the arc A2.

Abstract: A method is provided. The method includes partially supporting a subject to be imaged on a board extending from a mobile patient transport into a gantry bore of a stationary computed tomography (CT) imaging system while partially supporting both the subject and the board with a cradle extending from a table. The method also includes acquiring a single imaging volume, during an imaging scan with the stationary CT imaging system, without moving the subject.

Abstract: A dual-rate tandem spring system is described. The system may include a higher force spring and a lower force spring. The spring system may comprise gas springs. The spring system may be included in a table system to provide lift or descent assist of objects such as a patient. A damper may be installed in the spring system to provide smooth transition between lower and higher force springs.
