Abstract
A patient placement table moving method may be used with a robotic operating table including a patient placement table, a base buried in or fixed to a floor and an articulated robotic arm including joints and having first and second ends. The first end may be supported on the base to be rotatable about an axis extending in a vertical direction. The second end may support the table. The method may include: horizontally arranging the table by the robotic arm at an imaging position for imaging with a medical imaging apparatus; and translating the table from the imaging position to a surgical operation position by the robotic arm. The surgical operation position may be away from the imaging position by 200 mm or more in a second direction orthogonal to a first direction in a horizontal plane, and the first direction is parallel with a longitudinal direction of the table.
