Appl. No.:

7/616677

Inventors:

Larry E. Harrawood - Sandy UT

Blain Erikson - Summit Park UT

Assignee:

Diasonics, Inc. - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

F61G 1300

US Classification:

5607

Abstract:

A patient support table comprising a first patient support surface. The first patient support surface, in a preferred embodiment, is comprised of an x-ray translucent material such as carbon fiber. In a preferred embodiment, the top of the first patient support surface is for supporting a patient and is slightly concave. The patient support table also comprises a support, with the support being affixed to the first end of the first patient support surface at a first end of the support and extends beyond the third end of the first patient support surface. The support is affixed in such a manner that the first patient support surface may be interchanged with a second patient support surface, wherein the second patient support surface has all of the properties of the first patient support surface. The patient support table also comprises a base. The base is affixed to a second end of the support.

Appl. No.:

7/881771

Inventors:

Larry E. Harrawood - Sandy UT
James R. Harvey - Salt Lake City UT

Assignee:

Diasonics, Inc. - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

H05G 102

US Classification:

378196

Abstract:

An apparatus having a support for supporting a subject on a surface and an imager for imaging the subject. The imager is movably coupled to a track to allow relative movement of the imager about the support. The track is located substantially along a plane which is substantially parallel to the surface of the support. The support may, in some embodiments, be rotatable from a horizontal to a vertical position for certain procedures. The track provides movement of the imager about at least three sides of the apparatus and, in some embodiments, is affixed to the floor. Further, the track is substantially aligned with a centerline of the support surface. This provides a firm support for the imaging means, but keeps the support structure at a position where it will not interfere with clinical operations.
