Abstract
An examination table, particularly in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance image detecting machines of the so-called dedicated type, i.e. designed for detecting images of specific body parts, has an at least one-degree-of-freedom constraint ( ) to the machine ( ), and has supports ( ) which allow the examination table ( ) to be moved in at least one, preferably two or more degrees of freedom. Advantageously, the examination table ( ) is mounted in such a way as to be able to slide ( ) on a stationary guide ( ) which is fixed with a predetermined orientation with respect to the detection cavity ( ) of the machine ( ) and it may be further translated in both senses ( ) along said guide ( ) and rotated ( ) about an axis ( ) perpendicular to the direction it follows while sliding on the guide ( ).
