Mobile screening apparatus
First Claim
1. A mobile screening apparatus comprising:
- a patient compartment having a floor, an end wall, a first sidewall and a second sidewall, said second sidewall having an expanding wall that is slidable between a retracted position and an extended position;
a vehicle having a chassis upon which said patient compartment is positioned, said vehicle having wheels rotatably mounted to said chassis so as to allow said vehicle to move along an underlying surface;
a scanner positioned in said patient compartment, said scanner having a length dimension and a width dimension, said length dimension extending longitudinally within said patient compartment such that said length dimension of said scanner is aligned with a longitudinal axis of said patient compartment, said length dimension being greater than said width dimension, said scanner having a circular or oval opening.

Abstract
A mobile screening apparatus has a patient compartment having a floor, and end wall, a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The second sidewall has an expanding wall that is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The mobile screening apparatus also has a scanner positioned in the patient compartment. The scanner has a length dimension extending longitudinally within the patient compartment. A scanning table is positioned within the patient compartment. The scanning table is movable in relation to the scanner. The patient compartment is positioned upon a chassis of a vehicle. A generator is connected to the scanner so as to supply power to the scanner. In particular, the scanner is a lung scanner.

18. A mobile screening apparatus comprising:
-
a patient compartment having a floor, and end wall, a first sidewall and a second sidewall, said second sidewall having an expanding wall that is slidable between a retracted position and an extended position; a scanner positioned in said patient compartment, said scanner having a length dimension and a width dimension, said length dimension extending longitudinally within said patient compartment such that said length dimension of said scanner is aligned with a longitudinal axis of said patient compartment, said length dimension being greater than said width dimension, said scanner having a circular or oval opening; a vehicle having a chassis upon which said patient compartment is positioned, said vehicle having wheels rotatably mounted to said chassis so as to allow said vehicle to move along an underlying surface, said vehicle having a cabin positioned forwardly of said patient compartment; a scanning table positioned in said patient compartment, said scanning table being movable in relation to said scanner, said scanning table having a surface thereon adapted to allow a body to be positioned thereon, said scanning table movable between a stowed position and an active position, said scanning table being against said expanding wall in the stowed position, said scanning table extending transverse to said expanding wall when said expanding wall is in the extended position; and a generator connected to said scanner so as to supply power to said scanner, said generator being mounted to said patient compartment or to said vehicle.
