Systems and methods are provided for calibrating computed tomography (CT) system. In one example, a method for a computed tomography (CT) system comprises, during a calibration of the CT system, measuring a position of a detector element of a detector array of the CT system using a wire of a wire phantom coupled to a table of the CT system, during a rotational scan performed using the CT system; and during a subsequent scan performed on a subject using the CT system, applying the measured position of the detector element rather than a design target position of the detector element during reconstruction of an image from projection data acquired via the CT system; and displaying the reconstructed image on a display device of the CT system.

Various systems are provided for an adjustable tilting head holder. In one example, a system comprises an adjustable tilting head holder for use with an imaging system the adjustable head holder comprising a table attachment coupled to a first half of a hinge via a first extension arm and the adjustable head holder coupled to a second half of the hinge, and tilt adjustment bar comprising a first rod adjacent to a lever on a first end of the tilt adjustment bar, the first rod configured to engage with a ratchet system of a tilt adjustment mechanism, the tilt adjustment bar further comprising a second rod at a second end of the tilt adjustment bar that is engaged with a joint of a second extension of the table attachment, wherein the second rod is configured to pivot within the joint.

Various systems are provided for an adjustable tilting head holder. In one example, a system comprises an adjustable tilting head holder for use with an imaging system the adjustable head holder comprising a head cradle, a tilt adjustment mechanism with a plurality of locking positions arranged below a first end of the head cradle, a table mount extending from a second end of the head cradle, and a tilt adjustment bar that extends from the table mount through the tilt adjustment mechanism, wherein the first end and the second end of the head cradle are located at opposite ends of the head cradle.

A support structure is disclosed. The support structure has at least one cover installed to cover a side of the support structure. The cover is raised pivotally by at least one primary support mechanism. The cover may be secured in place by an additional support mechanism. The additional support mechanism may be set in two different positions, one that allows for load on the primary support mechanism and another that does not allow for load on the primary support mechanism.

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.
