Support and Service Pad Requirements
If other modalities utilize the same support pad, it is recommended that non- ferrous reinforcement materials be used for pad reinforcement. Siemens must approve plans for pad construction.
The following is a list of recommendations and requirements for a concrete support and service pad. However, due to varying site conditions, the actual pad design should be prepared by an appropriately licensed structural or architectural engineer. Recommended Support and Service Pad Requirements The measurements for the recommended support and service pads are in Figure 1: Plan Layout Pad Depth
.
Pad Levelness In order to ensure proper operation of the PET/CT system, the support pad(s) must be level and the set-up deviation must not exceed .125” in 10’-0.
The ambient static magnetic field within the region of the gantry should not exceed 1 Gauss (10 -4 Tesla) peak at the detector. Vehicle Access A firm, level surface is required around the mobile unit in order to provide access to the site, patient
access to the mobile unit, and servicing of the mobile unit. Recommended Attachment to the Facility
An inflatable air bag or soft seal is recommended at the point of connection from the unit to the facility. Fixed or solid connections may hinder imaging quality. Contact AMST or the local Siemens representative prior to construction if the proposed connection varies from the recommended. Swing Clearance Note Please verify the actual dimensions of the rearmost projections on the cab of your tractor to the centerline of tandem suspension or centerline of the fifth wheel plate on your tractor. Refer to Figure 8: Turning Requirements for proper tractor sizing information.
