Abstract: A PET-MRI apparatus includes a patient support assembly having a cradle to accommodate a subject, a carriage assembly to attach to the cradle and cause the cradle to selectively travel, and a rear bridge to receive the cradle and carriage. The patient support assembly also includes a front bridge to receive the cradle and carriage assembly and provide for translation therealong, with the front bridge including a first section and a second section that is spaced apart from the first section to form a gap in the front bridge between the first section and the second section in an area adjacent a PET detector array of the PET-MRI apparatus. The front and rear bridges include an anti-tip rail assembly to interact with the cradle and the carriage assembly so as to prevent tipping thereof when traversing over the gap between the first and second sections of the front bridge.

Abstract: A system and method for adjusting the height of a portion of a patient support table to accommodate various types of patients is disclosed. The patient support table includes a center section that is movable relative to first and second sections located on opposite sides of the center section. A lift mechanism is mounted to the support table to raise and lower the center section relative to the stationary first and second sections. When the center section is in its fully raised position, the patient support platform can be moved into and out of the medical scanning device by a platform drive mechanism. The lift mechanism is contained within the patient support table. The platform drive mechanism can be mounted either on the patient support table or on the medical scanning device, depending upon whether the patient support table is stationary or movable.
