ABSTRACT:
A scintillation camera device has a suspension system for positioning a detector head attached to a suspended arm for imaging a portion of a patient. The suspended arm includes a linking member which is pivotally attached to the suspension system and which extends horizontal from the suspension system. A rigid member is pivotally attached to the linking member and provides horizontal articulation for the suspended arm. The rigid member has a yoke at the end thereof with the yoke having a base with ends adapted to pivotally retain the detector head. The rigid member has a generally arcuate shape which provides clearance for the patient whereby the rigid member can be extended over the patient and lowered for imaging a portion of the far side of the patient. The pivotal attachments of the linking member and the rigid member have releasable brakes to permit ready positioning of the detector head and subsequent locking of the head in that desired position.
