Ceiling mounted medical imaging system

A medical imaging device mountable on a support structure having a ceiling and a wall, the imaging device comprising:

• a mount coupleable to the wall;
• a substantially L-shaped frame coupled to the mount for relative vertical movement thereto, wherein the vertical movement is parallel to the wall, and the L-shaped frame having a first leg and a second leg;
• a gantry rotatably mounted on the first leg, the gantry having an X-ray radiation source and a radiation detector;
• and
• a vertical support extending between the first leg and the ceiling, the vertical support configured to at least partially support a load created by the frame and gantry.

A medical imaging device mountable on a stationary support structure having a ceiling and a wall, the medical imaging device comprising:

• a frame coupleable to the ceiling for relative vertical movement thereto;
• a lateral support arm coupled to the frame and configured to engage with at least one securing member affixed to the wall to maintain a horizontal or angular position of the frame with respect to the wall;
• and
• a gantry coupled to the frame for relative rotational movement thereto, the gantry having an X-ray radiation source and a radiation detector.
