A transport carriage for a patient bed has a first arm for placement of the
patient bed thereon and a second arm for coupling the patient bed thereto.
A medical treatment of examination system employing such a transport
carriage has a number of medical devices for treatment of examination of a
subject, each of these medical devices having a patient support mechanism
associated therewith, with a differently configured patient bed. The
patient beds are removable from the respective support mechanisms, and the
transport carriage is configured to receive and transport any of these
differently configured patient beds.
