2.9.1 CT-PET Gantry Safety
2.9.1.1 Clearance Between Gantries in Service Position
CAUTION When moving the PET gantry to its service position using the PET gantry drive mechanism,
make sure that the gantry travels backwards along the rails until it reaches the mechanical
stoppers at the end of the rails. This will provide approximately 80 cm of clearance between
the CT and PET gantries which is adequate for service operations. A service clearance of
less than this might result in injury due to proximity of sharp metal parts to body during
performance of service tasks.
2.9.1.2 Safety Measures While Moving PET Gantry
CAUTION When moving the PET gantry to and from its service position, be aware of possible collision
and injury to personnel standing in between the gantries or close to the sides of the PET
gantry. In addition, make sure that all equipment and furniture is moved well away from the
area behind and around the gantry.
