Abstract
An imaging system includes a first portion and a second portion that translates and/or rotates with respect to the first portion. A first locking mechanism may prevent the second portion from translating with respect to the first portion, such as during transport of the system. A second locking mechanism may prevent the second portion from rotating with respect to the first portion, such as during transport and/or during an imaging scan. Further embodiments include a cable management system between the first and second portions, a spherically-shaped surface of a support gimbal and a user interface device for an imaging system.
Claims17
A control system for an imaging device including a gantry having at least one imaging component and a gimbal supporting the gantry, comprising:
- a holster mounted to one of the gantry and the gimbal;
- and
- a user interface device removably received by the holster and operably connected to a control unit of the imaging device, the user interface device comprising a display configured to display system information and at least one user input component for controlling operation of the imaging device, wherein the holster limits movement of the user interface device in a plurality of degrees of freedom when the user interface device is received by the holster.
An imaging system, comprising:
- an imaging device including:
- a gantry having at least one imaging component;
- a gimbal that supports the gantry such that the gantry selectively tilts with respect to the gimbal in a gantry tilt direction;
- a base supporting the gimbal and the gantry, the base including a drive system;
- and
- a control system, the control system including:
- a user interface device operably connected to a control unit of the imaging device, the user interface device comprising a display configured to display system information and at least one user input component for controlling operation of the imaging device;
- and
- a holster located on one of the gantry and the gimbal, the holster configured to receive the user interface device to removably mount the user interface with the one of the gantry and the gimbal, wherein the holster limits movement of the user interface device in a plurality of degrees of freedom when the user interface device is received by the holster.
