Creators
Description
In a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system, including a magnet having a bore in which a subject to be imaged is to be located, a patient handling system is described comprising: a patient table which may be located so as to oppose the magnet bore, the patient table including a bottom portion and a top portion; a patient pallet, movably located on the top portion and adapted to be moved between the top portion and the magnet bore; mechanically driven transport means for transporting the patient pallet into and out of the magnet bore, including latch means for connecting the transport means to the patient pallet; and release means, located on the pallet, for manually releasing the latch means from the pallet, whereby the pallet may be manually removed from the magnet bore
