IMAGING TABLE LEVELING SYSTEM

摘要

An imaging table leveling system (100) for use with a medical imaging device is provided which levels an imaging table with respect to true level. The imaging table leveling system (100) levels an imaging table before the imaging table is floated, or while the imaging table is floating. The system includes an imaging table, an inclinometer (120), a processing unit (130), an actuators (140). The inclinometer (120) continuously measures table angle data (121). When activated, the processing unit (130) receives the table angle data (121) from the inclinometer (120). The processing unit (130) then compares the table angle data (121) to a stored level constant (135). The stored level constant (135) is a measurement of true level. The processing unit (130) then commands the actuators (140) to move the imaging table until the table angle data (121) matches the stored level constant (135). The table angle data (121) is also used to correct differences in actuator (142, 144) rates during tilt or roll motions.
