IMAGE DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, X RAY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY APPARATUS, MEDICAL BED APPARATUS, AND BED CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. An image diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- a table top for a subject;
a support mechanism configured to movably support the table top;
a driving power generator configured to generate driving power to be supplied to the support mechanism to move the table top;
an imaging mechanism configured to acquire medical image data associated with the subject placed on the table top;
a first operation unit configured to receive an ascending instruction for the table top;
a second operation unit configured to receive a descending instruction for the table top;
a storage unit configured to store a reference height of the table top at the time of issuance of the ascending instruction; and
a movement controller configured to control the driving power generator to descend the table top to the reference height upon issuance of the descending instruction.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a support mechanism movably supports the table top. A bed driver generates driving power to be supplied to the support mechanism to move the table top. An imaging mechanism includes a mechanism for acquiring medical image data associated with a subject placed on the table top. An ascending switch receives an ascending instruction for the table top. A descending switch receives a descending instruction for the table top. A storage unit stores the height of the table top at the time of the issuance of an ascending instruction as a target return position. When a descending instruction is issued, a bed controller controls the bed driver to descend the table top to the target return position stored in the storage unit.
