A patient handling system (10) for use with a medical imaging or radiation therapy device, and an associated pallet mounting apparatus (12) for releasably mounting a pallet (18) on the pallet support assembly (16) of a patient handling system. The patient handling system (10) includes a pallet (18) for supporting a patient, and a pallet support assembly (16) for supporting the pallet (18) and for positioning the pallet (18) to facilitate the scanning of a patient positioned on the pallet (18) using the medical imaging device, or to facilitate the application of radiation therapy to a patient using a radiation therapy device. The pallet mounting apparatus (12) includes a first interlocking member, or base member (32), mounted on the pallet support assembly (16), and a second interlocking member, or pallet engaging member (34), mounted on the pallet (18) for releasably interlocking with the base member (32), whereby selective vertical pivoting of the pallet engaging member (34) relative to the base member (32) permits selective disengagement of the pallet engaging member (34) from the base member (32) to facilitate release of the pallet (18) from the pallet support assembly (16).
