Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a supporting table and an imaging system including the supporting table. Said supporting table comprises: a supporting table body; a bracket provided on the supporting table body to be supported by the supporting table body and configured to bear a target object, wherein the bracket can move to protrude out of the supporting table body; a supporting roller, which can be detachably mounted between the supporting table body and the bracket to support the bracket relative to the supporting table body when the bracket moves. Accordingly, overhanging deformation of the bracket may be a voided or minimized by the support of the supporting roller.

Claims (32)

1. An imaging system, comprising:

a supporting table comprising:

a supporting table body;

a bracket provided on the supporting table body to be supported by the supporting table body and configured to bear a target object, wherein the bracket is configured to move to protrude out of the supporting table body; and

a plurality of supporting rollers detachably mounted between the supporting table body and the bracket to support the bracket relative to the supporting table body when the bracket moves; and

a scanning device configured to scan the target object born by the supporting table to obtain an image of the target object,

wherein when the scanning device scans in a first scanning mode, the plurality of supporting rollers is mounted between the supporting table body and the bracket such that the bracket moves the target object to a scanning position in case of being supported by the plurality of supporting rollers, and when the scanning device scans in a second scanning mode different from the first scanning mode, the plurality of supporting rollers is detached from the supporting table body and the bracket such that the bracket moves the target object to the scanning position in case of not being supported by the plurality of supporting rollers.

2. The imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein said supporting table body comprises:

a supporting platen;

a base configured to be capable of elevatably supporting the supporting platen; and

a bracket driving unit provided on the supporting platen and configured to drive the bracket to move.

3. The imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of rollers are mounted on an end portion of the supporting platen.

4. An imaging system, comprising:

a supporting table comprising:

a supporting table body;

a bracket provided on the supporting table body to be supported by the supporting table body and configured to bear a target object, wherein the bracket is configured to move to protrude out of the supporting table body; and

a supporting roller detachably mounted between the supporting table body and the bracket to support the bracket relative to the supporting table body when the bracket moves; and

a scanning device configured to scan the target object born by the supporting table to obtain an image of the target object,

wherein when the scanning device scans in a first scanning mode, the supporting roller is mounted between the supporting table body and the bracket such that the bracket moves the target object to a scanning position in case of being supported by the supporting roller, and when the scanning device scans in a second scanning mode different from the first scanning mode, the supporting roller is detached from the supporting table body and the bracket such that the bracket moves the target object to the scanning position in case of not being supported by the supporting roller.

5. The imaging system according to claim 4 , wherein said supporting table body comprises:

a supporting platen;

a base configured to be capable of elevatably supporting the supporting platen; and

a bracket driving unit provided on the supporting platen and configured to drive the bracket to move.

6. The imaging system according to claim 5 , wherein the bracket driving unit is configured to be integrated to an end of the bracket, and the supporting roller is configured to be capable of being detachably mounted on an end portion of the supporting platen corresponding to another end of the bracket which will protrude out of the supporting table body.

7. The imaging system according to claim 6 , wherein the supporting roller mounted on the end portion of the supporting platen is located to correspond to a middle of the bracket.

8. The imaging system according to claim 5 , wherein the supporting roller comprises:

a roller body;

a roller supporter provided between the supporting platen and the bracket and configured to support the roller body; and

a mounting part extending from the roller supporter and configured to be capable of being detachably mounted on an end portion of the supporting platen.

9. The imaging system according to claim 8 , wherein the mounting part comprises:

a fixing member configured to fix the mounting part to the end portion of the supporting platen.

10. The imaging system according to claim 4 , wherein said imaging system is a single photon emission computerized tomography/computerized tomography hybrid imaging system, and the first scanning mode is a tumor-diagnosing scanning mode.
