Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and device for driving a mobile imaging system. SOLUTION: The mobile imaging system 10 includes a motorized drive assembly 12 having first and second drive wheels 100, 102 that are coupled to the motorized drive assembly. A column 16 is coupled to and extends upwardly from the motorized drive assembly 12 and is rotatable around a pivot point 108. An arm 32 is coupled to the column 16, and the arm 32 includes a radiation source 15 mounted on an outer end thereof. A longitudinal axis 118 extends parallel to the length direction of the mobile imaging system 10 and is centered between the first and second drive wheels 100, 102. A controller 50 is configured to determine first and second velocities to drive the first and second drive wheels 100, 102 based on an angle of rotation of the column 16 with respect to the longitudinal axis 118.
