Abstract
An actuator for a patient support table, such as a table allocated to a magnetic resonance or computed tomography system, that is movable in vertical and horizontal direction, the motion mode being controlled with a control unit dependent on the actuation of the actuator, has two actuation positions enabling the movement mode to which two defined movement modes are respectively allocated. The currently allowable and implementable movement mode is dependent on the momentary table position.
