摘要： A telescopic table system (32) is used for imaging a subject in at least a first modality (12) and a second modality (14). The first modality is disposed adjacent to the second modality to align a subject receiving bore (24) of the first modality with a subject receiving bore (36) of the second modality. The telescoping table system (32) includes a base (108), an intermediate pallet (78) and a subject pallet (82) on which a subject is loaded prior to imaging. The subject pallet (82) is mounted and supported to retain a constant cantilevering with respect to the intermediate pallet (78) at all longitude positions to prevent deflection changes while extending into any of the imaging modalities. The subject pallet (82) is moved through the first modality subject receiving bore (24) for imaging in the first modality. The subject pallet (82) is withdrawn from the first modality (12) and aligned with the intermediate pallet (78). The intermediate pallet (78) is extended through the first modality subject receiving bore (24) to the intermediate support (118) which is disposed between the first and second modalities. The subject pallet (82) is moved along the intermediate pallet (78) through the second modality subject receiving bore (36) for imaging, while the intermediate pallet is supported by the intermediate support (118).

摘要： An improved image acquisition system allows the angular displacement between two detectors to be adjusted between 90° and 180° to reduce the imaging time for both 360° and 180° scans. A patient table is displaced vertically and horizontally from a lateral axis to allow the body of a patient to be positioned next to the detectors and to improve resolution.

摘要： A system for exchanging and storing collimators for medical imaging devices includes a first frame having a first receptacle and a second frame having a first docking member. A collimator can be attached to and removed from the first receptacle. The first docking member can be positioned adjacent to the first receptacle such that the first docking member can contact the collimator to remove the collimator from the first receptacle. The collimator is coupled to the first docking member while the collimator is removed from the first receptacle.

摘要： The imaging system has two detectors which can be rotated in a circular path about an object with the angular displacement between the detectors and their radial position with respect to the axis being adjustable. Preferably, the distance of the detectors from the lateral axis is adjustable to increase resolution of the system. A gantry has supports for drive gear rings for the detectors with radial motion mechanisms connecting one detector to the interior surface of a drive gear ring and the other to the exterior of its drive gear ring via a support arm. A drive gear and idler gear move one detector along the circular path and a radial drive motor moves the detectors radially with respect to the axis.

摘要： A nuclear medicine imaging system provides three-axis linear and rotary detector motion. The imaging system includes an overhead gantry, which includes a carriage supported above the object and movable in translation along a first horizontal axis. Support arms are suspended downward from the carriage and are movable along a second horizontal axis perpendicular to the first horizontal axis. A detector is coupled to a lower end of each support arm. Each support arm is retractably extendible along a substantially vertical axis, and each detector is pivotable about a horizontal axis parallel to the first horizontal axis. Each support arm cooperates with the carriage to enable the corresponding detector to be positioned at multiple angular positions about a longitudinal axis corresponding to multiple projection angles by using combinations of independent linear movements of the detectors along any of three perpendicular axes.

摘要： An improved solder wave apparatus and method that minimizes the undesirable phenomenon of solder splash is presented. A V-shaped trough is placed across the top of the inner container or box of an otherwise conventional solder wave machine. The V-shaped trough is positioned so that the bottom thereof is lower than the lowest side wall or walls of the inner container. A hole in the bottom at a first end of the trough allows molten solder to enter therein. A dam is placed along the length of the trough and divides the trough into the first and second sections. The dam includes a hole at the bottom to allow molten solder to pass from the first section into the second section. A slot or opening placed in the side wall of the inner container above a second end of the trough allows the molten solder to fall back into an outer container of the solder wave machine, from which location the solder is pumped back into the inner container in conventional fashion. Articles to be tinned with the molten solder are dipped thereinto in the second section of the trough, the undesirable solder splash phenomenon having already occurred, if at all, while the molten solder was held in the first section of the trough.
