    Abstract: A patient positioning system includes a vertical link member and a carriage sub-system pivotably mounted thereto. The carriage sub-system includes a carriage having a first end and a second end, a first guide movably coupled to the carriage and having a first end and a second end, a first connecting shaft pivotably coupled to the first ends of the first guide and the second guide, and a second connecting shaft pivotably coupled to the second ends of the first guide and the second guide. The system further includes a patient bed mounted to the carriage sub-system and a motor drive system including a motor drive, a belt configured to be driven by the motor drive, a rotation brake system configured to selectively engage with or disengage from the carriage, and a slab brake system configured to selectively engage with or disengage from the first and second connecting shafts.

    Abstract: The invention relates, in particular, to features of an apparatus applicable for use in the context of dental or medical CT imaging. The apparatus comprises a two longitudinally extending frame parts 11, 21, a support construction 12 for an X-ray source 14 and an image detector 15 and a first driving mechanism 16 arranged to move them about a rotation axis 13. A patient support 18 comprising a patient support surface 184 is mechanically connected to the first of the substantially longitudinally extending frame parts 11, which extends substantially in parallel with the first longitudinally extending frame part 11 and having at, or at the proximity of its two edges 181 which extend in the same direction as the first longitudinally extending frame part 11 i) at least one support element 183 or ii) at least one connecting construction 182 for at least one support element 83, the support element 183 being an accessory designed for a patient to hold on or help the patient to be still during an imaging exposure, or to help keeping a patient be still.

    Abstract: A table system for use with an imaging device includes a base portion that supports the table system over a support surface, a patient support including a platform for supporting a patient in a standing position and a bed for supporting the patient in a lying position, a linkage portion coupled between the base portion and the patient support that is pivotable with respect to both the base portion and the patient support, a first drive mechanism that drives the pivoting of the patient support with respect to the linkage portion, and a second drive mechanism that drives the pivoting of the linkage portion with respect to the base portion, the first and second drive mechanisms moving the patient support between a vertical position in which the platform is substantially parallel to the support surface and a horizontal position in which the bed is substantially parallel to the support surface.

    Abstract: Patient sitting equipment for radiotherapy, including an installation platform, a treatment couch assembly, a support and adjustment assembly and a 3D imaging assembly. The treatment couch assembly is configured to fix a patient. The support and adjustment assembly is configured to adjust a position of the treatment couch assembly with respect to the installation platform. The 3D imaging assembly includes a column assembly and a 3D imaging device. The column assembly is arranged at the installation platform, and extends along the vertical direction. The 3D imaging device is movably arranged at the column assembly, and is corresponding to the treatment couch assembly in a horizontal projection direction. The 3D imaging device is configured to scan the patient.
