Mobile computerized tomography (CT) imaging system with cordless and wireless capabilities

A mobile imaging system comprising:

• a frame;
• a imaging unit mounted to the frame, wherein the imaging unit is adapted to scan anatomical objects and generate images of the same;
• a transport mechanism mounted to the frame, wherein the transport mechanism comprises a fine movement mechanism for moving the imaging unit precisely, relative to the patient, during scanning;
• an on-board networking unit mounted to the frame, wherein the on-board networking unit is adapted to connect the imaging unit to a workstation, hospital PACs system or other IT network without requiring the use of conventional physical cabling during the same;
• and
• an on-board power unit mounted to the frame, wherein the on-board power unit is adapted to provide the electrical power needed to operate the imaging unit, transport mechanism and networking unit without requiring the use of conventional physical cabling during the same.
