Working principle
B.3
The height adjustment mechanism of the patient table works
on a principle called the cobra principle. Like the snake of that
name, the horizontal position of the tabletop (“head of the
cobra”) changes as it is raised or lowered.
B.3
❏
On raising, the table top (and therefore the patient too)
moves toward the gantry.
❏
On lowering both move away from the gantry.
i
.3 B
Do not change the table height during the examination,
because this alters the slice position too.
