12. The radiological imaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a fastener control knob disposed on the frame to fasten the adjustable fasteners to the frame.

13. The radiological imaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a gantry and a translation mechanism to move the gantry in a sliding direction that extends along the elongational axis of the bed.

14. The radiological imaging system of claim 13 , wherein the translation mechanism includes a linear guide and a carriage that control a translational position of the gantry with respect to the bed.

15. The radiological imaging system of claim 14 , wherein the linear guide is motorized.

16. The radiological imaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a lock suitable to secure the pivots to the adjustable fasteners.

17. The radiological imaging system of claim 16 , wherein the lock is a spring-loaded lock.

18. The radiological imaging system of claim 16 , wherein threaded cylinders of the adjustable fasteners are exposed when the lock is in a disengaged position.

19. The radiological imaging system of claim 16 , wherein the lock extends a portion of the threaded cylinders in an engaged position.

20. The radiological imaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a laser centering system, wherein the laser centering system projects a visual marker on a patient placed on the bed.

21. The radiological imaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a source suitable to emit radiation, and a detector suitable to receive the radiation that traversed a portion of a patient positioned on the bed.

22. A bed for use with a radiological imaging system, the bed comprising:

a frame;

pillars extending along an elongational axis of the bed and connected to the frame;

a support surface connected to the pillars;

adjustable fasteners removably attached to the frame, wherein the adjustable fasteners are threaded cylinders; and

pivots attached to terminal ends of the pillars that are received by the adjustable fasteners;

wherein the threaded cylinders of the adjustable fasteners are rotated to adjust a positioning of the pivots, and the shape of the supporting surface.

23. The bed of claim 22 , wherein the bed is a flexible bed, and wherein the support surface is a flexible support surface.

24. The bed of claim 22 , wherein the flexible bed is made of carbon fiber.

25. The bed of claim 22 , wherein the support surface is a rigid surface having a flat, semicircular, curved or triangular profile shape.

26. The bed of claim 22 , wherein the support surface is made of a radio-transparent material.

27. The bed of claim 22 , wherein the frame includes a front frame and a rear frame.

28. The bed of claim 27 , further comprising a front support panel attached to the front frame and a rear support panel attached to the rear frame.

29. The bed of claim 28 , wherein the adjustable fasteners are arranged along a width of the front support panel and the rear support panel.
