    A novel air-cart utilizing laminar air flow principles allows single-operator movement of scintillation camera detectors. This design leverages existing hospital air supply for enhanced mobility and efficiency in medical imaging procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging Technology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Scintillation camera detectors are essential in nuclear medicine imaging.
    • Manual repositioning of heavy scintillation cameras can be challenging for a single operator.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and develop an air-cart system for effortless scintillation camera detector movement.
    • To improve the efficiency and ergonomics of handling imaging equipment in clinical settings.

    Main Methods:

    • The air-cart was engineered based on the laminar air flow principle.
    • It integrates with the standard hospital compressed air supply available in patient rooms.

    Main Results:

    • The developed air-cart facilitates easy and controlled movement of the scintillation camera detector.
