7.1.2.1 Gantry Transport Mechanism
Refer to Figure 7-1. The PET and the CT Gantries are installed close to one another. In order to
enable service access for the gantries, the PET gantry is installed on a set of rollers on one side
and a linear bearing assembly on the other.
The linear bearing assembly is connected to a baseplate that is anchored to the floor. The gantry
is also connected to a mechanical driving mechanism that is designed to enable movement of the
gantry to its service position using an electric screwdriver to drive the lead screw of the gantry.
