The imaging table is an electrically adjustable table for both supine and sitting ergometry. Due to its design and construction it can easily be combined with a wide range of measuring methods, such as ECG recordings, ultra sound scanning, and nuclear examinations. The back support of the imaging table is permeable to x-rays.

Thanks to its sturdy steel construction it is very stable, yet it is still easy to move because of its lockable castors. During exercises the table motion is virtually eliminated, even while the test subject is exercising vigorously. In combination with the flexible handgrips the test subject remains stationary as well. The adjustable shoulder supports provide the kind of stability you need to achieve clear imaging during test procedures.

Both back support and leg support panels operate independently and are power-actuated by means of remote control. The power actuators let you select any angle from 0-75 degrees for the rear section, and 0-42 degrees for the forward section. The independent ergometer adjustment (for Angio) lets you change the distance to the pedal electronically to fit every patient. To accomodate an even wider range of settings, the bars on which the ergometer rests can be set in two directions.

The Lode ergometer is designed for the imaging table. This ergometer can cope with load settings up to 300 Watts (continuously adjustable) and has standard accessories for pedal drive at supine ergometry and pedal shoes for foot fixation and a Workload Programmer. The Workload Programmer is provided to control the Angio either manually or by protocol. The user has the possibility to program up to 50 protocols for both increasing and decreasing work loads. During tests the display shows the values of Workload (in Watts), RPM, heart rate, est. VO2, energy etc.
