Abstract
The medical imaging system may include a movable station and a gantry. The movable station includes a gantry mount rotatably attached to the gantry. The gantry includes an outer C-arm slidably mounted to and is operable to slide relative to the gantry mount, an inner C-arm is slidably coupled to the outer C-arm and, an imaging signal transmitter and sensor are attached to the C-arms. The two C-arms work together to provide a full 360 degree rotation of the imaging signal transmitter. In one embodiment, the imaging signal transmitter and imaging sensor are offset from a center axis of the medical imaging system such that the portable medical imaging system is operable to capture an enlarged field of view.
