Abstract
The present disclosure is related to automatic collimator installation systems and methods. An automatic collimator installation method may include obtaining an installation instruction for installing a target collimator into a medical scanner; identifying, from a plurality of collimators stored in a collimator storage device, the target collimator based on the installation instruction; using a cart to transport the target collimator from the collimator storage device to the medical scanner; and automatically installing, using the cart, the target collimator into the medical scanner.
Claims20
An automatic collimator installation system, comprising a cart, a storage medium including a set of instructions, and at least one processor configured to communicate with the storage medium, wherein when executing the set of instructions, the at least one processor is configured to direct the system to perform operations including:
- obtaining an installation instruction for installing a target collimator into a medical scanner;
- identifying, from a plurality of collimators stored in a collimator storage device, the target collimator based on the installation instruction;
- using the cart to transport the target collimator from the collimator storage device to the medical scanner;
- and
- automatically installing, using the cart, the target collimator into the medical scanner.
A cart, comprising a mechanical arm, a cart body, a processor, and a storage medium including a set of instructions, the processor configured to communicate with the storage medium, wherein when executing the set of instructions, the processor is configured to direct the cart to perform operations including:
