Abstract
A patient support for a nuclear medicine imaging system has a base a joint and a chair. The chair can pivot or rotate about the joint. This allows the patient chair to assume a patient loading and a patient imaging position with respect to the detectors of the imaging system. Furthermore, the chair is adjustable to improve the ability of a patient region to be covered by the filed of view of the detectors.
