    GE H EALTHCARE 2307224-100, R LS S IRECTION EVISION ISCOVERY YSTEM ERVICE ANUAL 7.1.2.1 Gantry Transport Mechanism Refer to Figure 7-1. The PET and the CT Gantries are installed close to one another. In order to enable service access for the gantries, the PET gantry is installed on a set of rollers on one side and a linear bearing assembly on the other.

  • Page 225: Gantry-Table Cable Routing

    One of the major concerns in connecting two different systems, such as the LightSpeed CT and the PET Advance, is with the need for registration between the images. Discovery LS uses a combination of software and mechanical registration techniques. Image registration is initially based on a mechanical registration of both gantries, such that the isocenter of both gantries is located along the same line.

  • Page 226: Electrical Description

    7.1.3 Electrical Description The CT and PET gantries operate as sub-systems of the overall Discovery LS system and are connected through the system Ethernet LAN. The functionality of each gantry subsystem remains the same as in stand-alone PET Advance and CT LightSpeed installations.
