ABSTRACT:
A transfer system is provided to effect collimator change out for a medical nuclear camera. The system includes a rectangular lead collimator frame into which the collimator is mounted. The collimator frame has an outer peripheral edge and an inner peripheral edge, the peripheral edges defining the collimator thickness. A transfer cart has a C-shaped transfer frame carrying top, bottom and side supports. The top and bottom supports have spring biased locking discs protruding therefrom which are adapted to contact and lock into contact grooves formed into the collimator frame's outer peripheral edge at its top and bottom thus encapsulating the collimator frame within the transfer cart frame for movement of the camera to storage and vise-versa. An especially configured storage rack is provided which has vertically extending, rack modules for storage/retrieval of the collimators. The bottom support of the cart's transfer frame is vertically movable to permit the transfer frame to tightly engage and release the collimator frame for camera application, while also permitting limited vertical movement of the collimator frame for storage deposit and retrieval.
