Abstract

Claims (6)

1. A system for performing robotic surgery on a patient disposed on a bed, comprising:

a gantry comprising a computed tomography (CT) diagnostic device;

a platform having an upper surface, wherein the gantry is attached to the upper surface of the platform and configured to slide along the upper surface of the platform via a first carriage to allow entry of at least part of the patient into the bore of the CT device; and

a robotic arm assembly attached to the upper surface of the platform via a pivot arm and a second carriage, to allow the robotic arm assembly to slide along the platform to enable surgery to be performed on the patient, wherein the pivot arm extends substantially horizontally from a pivot point thereof and is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the platform, and wherein the robotic arm assembly extends upward from the pivot arm, which is below the bed, toward the patient to a position above the bed, thereby allowing access by the robotic arm to the patient's area of interest to perform surgery,

wherein the pivot point is located in a center portion of the second carriage, in a direction transverse to a direction of movement of the gantry along the platform, to provide pivoting of the robotic arm assembly from a first side of the bed to a second side of the bed.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the gantry comprises a movable x-ray source and movable x-ray detector.
