ABSTRACT:
A patient support is designed for use with a scintillation camera that includes a vertically oriented annular rotating support having an axis, and an elongate support extending from the rotating support for supporting a detector head, the rotating support including a coaxial inner surface defining an orifice. The patient support includes a patient stretcher for supporting a patient in a horizontal position substantially parallel to the axis of the rotating support. The patient support also includes a detached support for horizontally supporting the patient stretcher on a ground surface. The detached support includes a first stretcher support for supporting the patient stretcher and for positioning the patient stretcher relative to the rotating support. The patient support also includes an engaged support for horizontally supporting the patient stretcher on the inner surface of the cylindrical support such that the patient stretcher remains unaffected by the rotation of the rotating support. The engaged support includes a second stretcher support for supporting the patient stretcher and for positioning the patient stretcher relative to the rotating support.
