Scan Table
Use the scan table to position the patient during an image acquisition. In addition, the
x-ray source assembly and other electronics are contained inside the scan table.
Scan Arm
A laser light emitted from an aperture below the scan arm is used to locate the scan
start position for the detector. Position switches (given below) let you move the scan
arm until the laser light is located at the scan start position. The detector position is
different for each scan type.
Control Panel
NOTE: The control panel is the scan arm control panel and the computer
monitor.
The position switches, status lights, and emergency stop button are on the control
panel (figure 1-2).
