Various methods and systems are provided for reducing vibration in a rotating body of a medical imaging system. In an example, a dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) for a medical imaging system includes a mount portion including one or more apertures and adapted to fixedly couple to a mount surface within the imaging system; a sprung portion; and a vibrational tuner, where when the mount portion is mounted to the mount surface and during operation of the imaging system, the sprung portion moves relative to the mount surface, an amount of movement of the sprung portion based at least in part on the vibrational tuner.

Methods and systems for medical imaging vibration reduction

Methods and systems are provided for measuring vibrations in an imaging system. In one embodiment, a method for a computed tomography (CT) system includes measuring a vibration level of a rotatable gantry of the CT system with a balance sensor coupled to a stationary housing of the CT system and outputting a notification indicating potential image artifacts based on the vibration level exceeding a vibration threshold.

Systems and methods for vibration detection

A tomography system may be used to scan a subject and provide reconstructed images of the subject. A gantry of the tomography system has a rotary member that is rotatable around an axis. While the rotary member rotates, a skid layer provides safety features between the rotary member and a subject-facing scan window.
