ABSTRACT:
A medical imaging apparatus in which an easy and accurate positioning of an imaging target inside a patient within a view field of an imaging device is possible. The apparatus includes: a signal detector for collecting the image data, having a limited effective view field located inside a frame; a carrier for carrying the patient into the frame in order to place the imaging target portion of the patient within the effective view field of the signal detector; and an indication marking, attached on the carrier, for indicating a range on the carrier which can be located within the effective view field of the signal detector. The apparatus may further includes: a height adjustment device for adjusting a height of the carrier by moving the carrier in a vertical direction; and a height indicator for indicating the height of the carrier on a scale provided on a horizontal plane so as to provide an easily and accurately readable indication of the height of the carrier.
