Abstract: An imaging gantry is provided that includes a C-arm having a detector mounted within the diameter of the C-arm at one end, and an X-ray tube mounted to the opposite end of the C-arm. The detector includes a retractable detector arm that is pivotally mounted to the C-arm at one end and has the detector mounted to the retractable detector arm opposite the C-arm. The detector is secured to a support plate that is attached to the planetary drive mechanism on the detector arm, such that the support plate swivels with the planetary drive mechanism to maintain the alignment of the support plate and detector relative to the X-ray tube. The detector arm also includes a lateral compensation mechanism disposed on the detector arm and engaged with the detector that operates in synchronization with the motor pivoting the detector arm to laterally displace the detector in order to maintain the alignment of the detector with the X-ray tube.

Abstract: A device attachable to a patient table having a rail on at least one side of the table to accommodate at least one user interface having a cable connected thereto. The device includes a cable guiding mechanism to receive the cable. The cable guiding mechanism includes a guiding rod, and the cable guiding mechanism is attachable beneath the rail. The cable guiding mechanism also includes a cover having an opening mechanism provided through out a length of the cover. The cover includes a front end, a rear end and a middle portion. The middle portion of the cover is attached to the guiding rod through a movable connecting unit.
