Patient support mechanism for medical examination apparatus

摘要

The patient support mechanism has a stationary lower part having a first ramp that ascends toward an examination space of the examination apparatus, an essentially horizontal, first section, a second ramp that proceeds essentially parallel to the first ramp, and an essentially horizontal second section that lies in the region of the examination space. An upper part having a bearing surface for a patient is displaceable on the lower part in the longitudinal direction thereof, whereby the upper part is lifted via the two ramps into the level of the examination space upon displacement of the upper part.
