Abstract
A holding mechanism for vertically positioning a measuring cryostat relative to a patient includes a pair of spaced, vertically-extending columns, which are preferably connected at their upper ends by a cross member, each of said columns has a box vertically movable along the column. The two boxes are interconnected by a shackle which is mounted at each end for rotation on the boxes, and the shackle includes an arrangement for mounting the cryostat on the shackle which allows pivoting of the cryostat in a plane of the shackle. Thus, the structure allows for both rotating the cryostat around an axis around a point and pivoting in a plane extending perpendicular to the direction of rotation around the same point. In addition, the mechanism enables vertically positioning the point relative to a patient or other object.
