An apparatus for medical imaging and image-guided intervention, the apparatus comprising - a modular patient table compatible with a medical imaging scanner and - a transporter to carry the modular patient table, the modular patient table including - a patient support module and a specialised patient support module removably coupled to the patient support module, - the patient support module being formed by an I-shaped common backbone structure, and - the specialised patient support module being configured to support a patient in a position appropriate for imaging a selected anatomy of interest, while also providing an interventional gap under the specific anatomy of interest sized to allow access from below the modular patient table top to the selected anatomy of interest using a medical instrument; the transporter comprising - a base - a central vertical pedestal supported on the base for supporting the patient table top, the vertical pedestal's cross-sectional area being smaller than the modular table's cross-section - the central vertical pedestal being offset from the interventional gap to provide an open space adjacent the interventional gap to allow access from below the modular patient table top to the selected anatomy using the medical instrument and - two arms projecting horizontally from the central vertical pedestal towards the back and front ends of the transporter and angle upwards near to ends of the transporter. - a modular patient table compatible with a medical imaging scanner and - a transporter to carry the modular patient table, the modular patient table including - a patient support module and a specialised patient support module removably coupled to the patient support module, - the patient support module being formed by an I-shaped common backbone structure, and - the specialised patient support module being configured to support a patient in a position appropriate for imaging a selected anatomy of interest, while also providing an interventional gap under the specific anatomy of interest sized to allow access from below the modular patient table top to the selected anatomy of interest using a medical instrument; the transporter comprising - a base - a central vertical pedestal supported on the base for supporting the patient table top, the vertical pedestal's cross-sectional area being smaller than the modular table's cross-section - the central vertical pedestal being offset from the interventional gap to provide an open space adjacent the interventional gap to allow access from below the modular patient table top to the selected anatomy using the medical instrument and - two arms projecting horizontally from the central vertical pedestal towards the back and front ends of the transporter and angle upwards near to ends of the transporter. - a patient support module and a specialised patient support module removably coupled to the patient support module, - the patient support module being formed by an I-shaped common backbone structure, and - the specialised patient support module being configured to support a patient in a position appropriate for imaging a selected anatomy of interest, while also providing an interventional gap under the specific anatomy of interest sized to allow access from below the modular patient table top to the selected anatomy of interest using a medical instrument; - a base - a central vertical pedestal supported on the base for supporting the patient table top, the vertical pedestal's cross-sectional area being smaller than the modular table's cross-section - the central vertical pedestal being offset from the interventional gap to provide an open space adjacent the interventional gap to allow access from below the modular patient table top to the selected anatomy using the medical instrument and - two arms projecting horizontally from the central vertical pedestal towards the back and front ends of the transporter and angle upwards near to ends of the transporter.
