Abstract
A medical bed system, is provided wherein, by enabling a plurality of medical apparatus to use a common bed, various medical activities can be taken without moving a patient to another bed and thus without changing an attitude of the patient. In particular, the medical bed system includes a rotating section for rotating the bed horizontally around a predetermined central axis to position it on predetermined locations of the medical apparatuses, and an engaging section for engaging selectively the bed with each of the medical apparatuses, whereby positioning precision of the bed can be improved. In addition, each of a plurality of medical apparatuses can generate own bed operation control signal for operating the bed to fit to own medical apparatus, and can supply own bed operation control signal to the bed when it is engaged with the bed by the engaging section, and the bed can control its operation based on the bed operation control signal supplied from each of the plurality of medical apparatuses, whereby timing synchronization between the bed and the medical apparatus is achieved automatically.
