Abstract
A radiographic imaging system provides a digital x-ray detector embedded in a patient bed. A patient lying normally on the bed either flat or at an angle, is positioned above the digital detector. A frame assembly is attached to the bed under the patient and movably secures the digital detector. The frame assembly includes motorized control configured to move the digital detector in the x-y plane of the detector according to commands transmitted by system operators or by automatic system instruction.
