A radiological imaging system includes a gantry that defines an analysis zone, a source housed within the gantry, and a detector housed within the gantry. A part of a patient is placed in the analysis zone. The source emits radiation that passes through the part of the patient; the detector receives the radiation. The system is configured to receive the patient alternatively in at least two of the following arrangements: having a stationary bed and a translatable gantry, having a bed with a table top that translates through the analysis zone along a main direction, and accepting the patient in a seating or reclining apparatus.

Imaging table for greater access to patient region of interest

A system and method for providing a radiological imaging system including a table for greater access to patient region of interest. The imaging system includes a gantry defining an analysis zone. A source suitable to emit radiation and at least one detector suitable to receive the radiation are housed within the gantry. The system includes a translating component to translate the gantry in a main direction. The system includes a bed extending along the main direction and having a table top to support a patient, a base, and at least one support member connected between the table top and the base. The table top may translate along the main direction, and at least one support member is adjustable to raise and lower the table top. The table top may also be translating in a direction perpendicular to the main direction in a Y axis or tilted along the Z axis.
