Abstract: A radiological imaging system for obtaining images of at least a portion of the internal anatomy of a patient is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the radiological imaging system includes a bed including a support surface, pillars extending along an elongational axis of the bed, and pivots terminal ends of the pillars. The radiological imaging system further includes a load-bearing structure comprising a frame that supports the bed, and adjustable fasteners removably attached to the frame, wherein the adjustable fasters are threaded cylinders. The pivots are placed on the adjustable fasteners, and the threaded cylinders of the adjustable fasteners are rotated to adjust a positioning of the pivots, and the shape of the support surface.

Abstract: A device operable to supply a force feedback to a physiological unit to be sed as an advanced interface for machines and computers, including an exoskeleton which includes kinematic elements articulated about articulation axes arranged coincident with or in close proximity to the physiological axes of the physiological unit such as, for example, the flexion-extension axes of the phalanges of the fingers of a hand of an operator. A series of electrical actuators controls the degree of tension on traction cables applying a force feedback to the kinematic elements and consequently to the physiological unit, so as to simulate an interaction between the operator and a virtual object. The device includes position sensors for detecting the configuration of the physiological unit and force sensors for measuring the strength of the force locally applied thereto by the actuators controlled by a processing system.
