    A new accessory patient table enhances whole-body scanner capabilities. This innovation allows for routine and comfortable coronal and sagittal head scans using the Varian system.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging technology
    • Radiology equipment design

    Background:

    • The Varian whole-body scanner features a 90-cm gantry opening.
    • Optimizing patient positioning and scan versatility is crucial for advanced imaging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an accessory patient table to maximize the utility of the Varian whole-body scanner's gantry opening.
    • To facilitate routine and comfortable head imaging in coronal and sagittal planes.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a specialized accessory patient table.
    • Integration of the table with the Varian whole-body scanner system.

    Main Results:

    • The accessory table effectively utilizes the 90-cm gantry opening.
    • Coronal and sagittal head scans can now be performed routinely and with improved patient comfort.
