A patient handling system with improved throughput is provided for a computer tomography (CT) system. A scanner room is included with the CT scanner and an associated patient bed support. Removable patient beds are attached to the tops of transportable tables initially located in first and second patient rooms located in adjacent opposite sides of the scanner room, respectively. Patients are prepared and prepositioned in the first and second patient room for later CT scanning in the scanner room. A transfer system provides for selective movement of transportable tables on tracks between the patient rooms and the patient bed support, for permitting the patient beds to be easily moved between the patient bed support and the first and second patient rooms. The beds are oriented on the transportable tables for providing alignment with the patient bed support, for facilitating transfer of the beds between the transportable tables and the patient bed support, and for quicker initiating of X-radiation scanning. The transfers can be automated through appropriate programming of a computerized control system.
