Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems are provided for controlling a patient table. In one example, a system may include a patient table, an imaging system, and a controller. The controller may be configured to adjust a drive wheel output of the patient table responsive to a user force input received at the patient table when undocked from the imaging system, and adjust a vertical height of the patient table responsive to the user force input when docked to the imaging system. For example, only the drive wheel output may be adjusted responsive to the user force input when the patient table is undocked, and only the vertical height of the patient table may be adjusted responsive to the user force input when the patient table is docked. When not docked, vertical and horizontal adjustments may be enabled simultaneously, in one or more examples
