obstructions to avoid a collision during an automatic motion.
Operation-related considerations
:
Enable access for hospital beds, including maneuvering
and positioning the bed and moving the front of the
patient table during collimator exchange.
Storage of the collimator carts (one for each set of
collimators) when not in use
ECG Trigger Monitor and Contrast Injector – cable
position and lengths and storage when not in use
Space for storage and usage of ECG Trigger Monitor and Contrast Injector
