Abstract: A medical system for examination of a patient, comprising an examination device (1), a patient support device (13,15), and docking means for connecting both said devices to each other. The docking means comprises a first part (21) provided with a guiding member (57) and a second part (19) provided with guiding elements (61,63) for contacting the guiding surface (59). Each of said parts (19,21) is attached to one of said devices. The guiding member (57) comprises two substantially vertical guiding surfaces (59), positioned symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane through the device (1) to which the first part (21) of the docking means is attached. The distance between said two guiding surfaces (59) decreases further away from the device (1) to which said first part (21) is attached.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical imaging system comprising a frame (1) which accommodates an imaging device and an examination volume (7). The system further comprises a patient support member (13), a first displacement device (31) for displacing the patient support member relative to the frame in a first horizontal direction (X) into and out of the examination volume, and a second displacement device (33) ford is placing the patient support member relative to the frame in a second horizontal direction (Y) transverse to the first horizontal direction. The patient support member is provided on a mobile carrier (15) which comprises a first docking member (19) by means of which the mobile carrier can be docked to a second docking member (21) provided on the frame. According to the invention, the second displacement device (33) is provided on the frame (1) for displacing the second docking member (21) relative to the frame in the second horizontal direction (Y).
