- the bed is in a lowered position, which allows a patient to be placed on the bed. Once on the bed, the patient may be raised on the bed into a suitable position for examination as shown in Fig. 3.
- the hydraulic pump 84 forces air into the hydraulic cylinder 88 to raise the piston and the height of the bed. In one embodiment, holding the foot pedal 82 down releases air and lowers the bed 20. It has also been contemplated that the bed may be raised or lowered with an electric motor instead of manually with a hydraulic pump. In other embodiments, the bed may be adjusted in any direction using any type of motor, mechanical apparatus, and the like. [0041] As shown in Fig. 2, the bed 20 also includes a slide lock 94 that engages the table 60 and prevents the table from sliding along the slider guides 68. In one embodiment, the slide lock may be an over center lock as shown.
- Fig. 2 shows the slide lock 94 in an unlocked position allowing the table 60 to slide along the main direction 20a.
- Fig. 4 shows the slide lock 94 engaged with the table 60 to lock it in place. To engage and disengage the slide lock 94 from the table, an operator simply moves the handle of the slide lock up to lock and down to unlock.
- the bed 20 may be positioned adjacent to the gantry 30. In other embodiments, the bed 20 may be attached to the load-bearing structure 40.

- the table may include a surgical table top or mattress 100 that is permanently attached to the table or removably attached to the table. Straps or rails may also be attached to the bed 20 in order to secure the patient in place. Any rails may be removable before imaging the patient with imaging device.
- This invention allows for patients in trauma centers, emergency departments, surgery suites and ICU areas to be transported to and scanned by a high resolution imaging device that may also connect to other devices such as surgical robotic systems and surgical navigation systems, while staying in a single bed.
- This invention also will allow a facility to own one imaging device to be used for several beds and not require patients to be moved to a separate bed solely used for imaging.
- the bed 20 may be removed from the imaging device and easily moved to any room of the treatment facility. In this way, a patient on the bed 20 may be transported from an external location, such as a treatment room, trauma room, operating room, or outside of the hospital, to an imaging room so that the bed and be attached to the imaging device.
- the radiological imaging system 1 is in the rest configuration, that is, with the gantry 30 substantially parallel to the direction 20a.
- the operator rotates the gantry 30 about the axis of rotation 44a using the control lever 44d so that the radiological imaging system 1 moves into the working configuration where the gantry 30 is substantially perpendicular to the main direction 20a.
- a patient may be placed on the table 60 (or surgical top 100).
- the patient may be placed on the bed from an ambulance and wheeled into a hospital or imaging facility from room to room.
- an operator may raise the bed to a desired height by pumping the foot pedal 84.
- the patient may then be transported on the bed to the imaging device.
- the bed 20 including the patient is moved in position such that the bed 20 is adjacent the imaging device.
- the wheels 80 of the bed may be locked once the bed is in position.
- the bed may be adjusted towards the left or right of the gantry 30 in order to center the bed in position.
- the rails 74 of the base 64 will help line the bed up with the load bearing component 40 of the imaging device.
- the bed 20 may be locked onto the load bearing structure of the imaging device. The operator may then adjust the height of the bed (Y axis). As shown in Fig. 3, the slide lock 94 may be unlocked and the table 60 slid forward along the main direction 20a so that the cantilevered table is at least partially in the analysis zone 30a. Once in proper position, the operator may then engage the slide lock 94 with the table 60 to secure its position as shown in Fig. 4. The operator may adjust the bed along the X, Y, and Z axes to better position the area of interest in the analysis zone 30a. At this point, as shown in Fig.
- the operator uses the control unit to control the translation of the gantry 30 in the sliding direction 43a until the gantry 30 reaches the analysis zone and performs the radiological imaging of the intended portion of the patient.
- the bed 20 may be adjusted using controls to give the clinician access to the patient without the gantry or other features of the imaging system 1 interfering. Furthermore, the bed 20 may be easily unlocked or detached from the imaging system and moved to allow the clinician to examine the patient. Still further, once the imaging procedure is complete, the bed may be moved into a surgical room or recovery room without moving the patient to another bed. This is possible because the bed 20 functions as a surgical or treatment bed.
- the radiological imaging system 1 by virtue of the multipurpose bed 20, can quickly transport patients to from a patient room, to an imaging room, to a surgical room, and to any other room in the facility without having to move the patient into different beds.
- the bed 20 as described herein is adjustable to better position the patient under the gantry for imaging and also for giving a clinician unfettered access to the patient.
- Radiological imaging system 61 is shown in Figs. 6A-8B. This system is configured to receive the patient in a plurality of arrangements. Radiological imaging system 61 operates in much the same way that radiological imaging system 1 operates, with the added ability to accommodate the plurality of arrangements. Radiological imaging system 61 includes gantry 630, source 631, detector 632, and analysis zone 630a, which operate in much the same way that gantry 30, source 31, detector 32, and analysis zone 30a respectively operate.
- the plurality of arrangements include having a stationary bed and a translatable gantry; having a bed with a table top that translates through the analysis zone along a main direction; and accepting the patient in a seating or reclining apparatus including, but not limited to, a stationary chair, a movable chair, or a wheelchair.
- a bed, seating apparatus, or reclining apparatus may optionally have a radiolucent support to facilitate placement of a body part into the gantry.
- Fig. 6A shows the front of radiological imaging system 61 in which gantry 630 is translatable forward in direction 620 and backward.
