An anatomical imaging system comprising: a CT machine; and a transport mechanism mounted to the base of the CT machine, wherein the transport mechanism comprises a fine movement mechanism for moving the CT machine precisely, relative to the patient, during scanning. An anatomical imaging system comprising: a CT machine; and a transport mechanism mounted to the base of the CT machine, wherein the transport mechanism comprises: a gross movement mechanism for transporting the CT machine relatively quickly across room distances; and a fine movement mechanism for moving the CT machine precisely, relative to the patient, during scanning. An imaging system comprising: a scanner; and a transport mechanism mounted to the base of the scanner, wherein the transport mechanism comprises: a gross movement mechanism for transporting the scanner relatively quickly across room distances; and a fine movement mechanism for moving the scanner precisely, relative to the object being scanned, during scanning. A method for scanning a patient comprising: providing an anatomical imaging system, the system comprising: a CT machine; and a transport mechanism mounted to the base of the CT machine, wherein the transport mechanism comprises: a gross movement mechanism for transporting the CT machine relatively quickly across room distances; and a fine movement mechansim for moving the CT machine precisely, relative to the patient, during scanning; transporting the CT machine to the patient, across room distances, using the gross movement mechanism; and scanning the patient while moving the CT machine precisely, relative to the patient, with the fine movement mechanism. A method for scanning a patient, comprising: moving a CT machine across room distances to the patient; and scanning the patient while moving the CT machine precisely relative to the patient during scanning. A method for scanning an object, comprising: moving a scanner across room distances to the object; and scanning the object while moving the scanner precisely relative to the object during scanning.

L'invention concerne un système d'imagerie anatomique comprenant: une machine de tomographie informatique (CT) et un mécanisme de transport monté sur la base de ladite machine CT. Le mécanisme de transport comprend: un mécanisme de déplacement grossier permettant de transporter ladite machine CT relativement rapidement sur les distances d'une chambre et un mécanisme de déplacement fin permettant de déplacer avec précision la machine CT par rapport à un patient pendant une opération de balayage.
