Actuator for a patient support table
First Claim
1. In an apparatus having a patient support table which is movable in opposite vertical directions and in opposite horizontal directions, dependent on signals from a control unit, the improvement of an actuator for supplying signals to said control unit, said actuator having a first actuation position enabling a first movement mode, said first movement mode comprising a first vertical direction and a first horizontal direction, and a second actuation position enabling a second movement mode, said second movement mode comprising a second movement mode comprising a second vertical direction, opposite to said first vertical direction, and a second horizontal direction, opposite to said first horizontal direction, and means for actuating only an allowable and implemental movement mode dependent on a current position of said patient support table.

Abstract
An actuator for a patient support table, such as a table allocated to a magnetic resonance or computed tomography system, that is movable in vertical and horizontal direction, the motion mode being controlled with a control unit dependent on the actuation of the actuator, has two actuation positions enabling the movement mode to which two defined movement modes are respectively allocated. The currently allowable and implementable movement mode is dependent on the momentary table position.
