An equine table for positioning a horse during a CT (computed tomography) scans.
The table is square (1.8 by 1.8 meter) with two additional (foldable) side extensions.
It is positioned above the patient couch and communicates with the conventional CT system for examination of a horse with minimal contact between the CT system and the table.
The table includes a tracking system and a linear (motorized) movement system.
It can be manually adjusted prior to examination (table in/out) to properly align the horse.
A guiding rail secures optimal movement of the table, parallel to the patient couch.
Side and front (into the bore) positional cantilever members are provided to support horse’s appendages. On the corners infusion rods can be inserted.
The tracking system identifies movement of the CT couch and mimics the movement with the linear movement system to enter and retract the horse from the gantry at predetermined positioning.
