1. A support apparatus for a radiotherapy measurement system, the support apparatus comprising:
- a table base assembly having an upper base end and a lower base end, the upper base end being adapted to support a leveling assembly for the radiotherapy measurement system; and
;
a frame assembly to which the lower base end is mounted, the frame assembly having a plurality of frame assembly legs movable to increase and decrease an effective footprint of the frame assembly;
wherein the frame assembly includes a center frame portion to which the lower end of the table base assembly is mounted and to which the plurality of frame assembly legs are movably connected;
wherein each of the plurality of frame assembly legs includes a proximal end pivotably connected to the center frame portion and a distal end; and
wherein each of the plurality of frame assembly legs pivots between a closed position, in which the distal ends are adjacent to the center frame portion and a measurement position, in which the distal ends are pivoted away from the center frame portion to increase the effective footprint.

Abstract
A lift table provides stability and portability for a radiation measurement scanning system. The lift table may be fixed for radiation measurement or configured for storage. Further, the lift table may be easily disassembled and assembled to allow efficient transporting. The lift table supports a multiple axes scanning system for measuring radiation from a radiation source, such as a linear accelerator (LINAC) and includes a leveling platform, all of which are provided by a desirable weight and portability.

18. A support apparatus for a radiotherapy measurement system, the support apparatus comprising:
-
a table base assembly having an upper base end and a lower base end, the upper base end being adapted to support a leveling assembly for the radiotherapy measurement system; and a frame assembly having; a center frame portion to which the lower base end is mounted, the center frame portion including a pair of generally opposed first sides connected by a pair of generally opposed second sides; first and second pairs of frame assembly legs, each of the frame assembly legs including a proximal end and distal end, each proximal end being pivotably connected to a respective end of one of the first sides such that the first and second pairs of frame assembly legs are pivotable from a closed position, in which their respective distal ends are adjacent to their respective first side and to each other, to a measurement position, in which their respective distal ends are spaced outwardly from their respective first side and apart from each other; and a plurality of primary casters extending downwardly from each of the distal ends. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
