5 Axis Patient Table, ADAC Laboratories, Inc.

In 1983, James Carver designed a computer-controlled patient table for ADAC's DXF-4000 Digital Angiography System. The table featured precise vascular tracking (0.5mm accuracy) and included multiple control axes, carbon composite construction, and specialized interfaces. This project marked the beginning of his career in radiography equipment.

5 Axis Patient Table, ADAC Laboratories, Inc.
James Carver’s first job out of college was to design the patient table for ADAC’s DXF-4000 Digital Angiography System in 1983. This table was computer controlled to track vascular structures from head to toe with spatial repeatability within 0.5mm. Notable features include 3 servo axis, one open-loop axis, one manual rotation axis, carbon composite patient table, efficient and aesthetic structural weldments, guards, covers, and various table-mounted device interfaces. This project began my career in radiography equipment. Below is this table and a very young James at RSNA, 1984
