Abstract: The apparatus and method includes a backplane (14) and a plurality of cable connectors (16) arranged orderly on the backplane (14) to which the cables (12) are connected. A plurality of conductive groomer fingers (30) extend generally perpendicularly from the backplane (14) along at least one edge of the backplane (14), where slots of a predetermined width are defined therebetween. Each cable (12) has an EMI termination zone (32) packed in the groomer finger slots to achieve good electrical contact with the groomer fingers (30). A rear cover (34) is used to substantially enclose the backplane (14).

Abstract: The anatomy table (10) includes a substantially flat top surface (15) with a plurality of substantially parallel grooves (30) formed in the top surface (15). A plurality of clamp assemblies (32) are each slidably engaged in one of the grooves (30) with a cross-sectional anatomy slice (12) securely fastened thereto. A plurality of rotation assemblies (52) are further provided, where each rotation assembly (52) is coupled to one clamp assembly (32) and enables a cross-sectional anatomy slice (12) to rotate to a plurality of predetermined angular viewing positions.
