ABSTRACT:
A drive system for an imaging device of the type having a curved arm. The drive system includes a carrier that engages and supports the curved arm such that the curved arm can be moved along the carrier. The drive system includes a belt extending through the carrier and secured about the periphery of the curved arm. The drive system receives and drives the belt to move the curved arm relative to the carrier. The drive system includes a tensioning mechanism configured to move in such a direction relative to the carrier in order to increase the tension on the belt and to move in such a direction relative to the carrier in order to decrease the tension on the belt.
