Zusammenfassung:	The invention comprises a system and method for handling a patient in a tomographic imaging system using a plurality of imaging devices. The imaging devices each have a bore through which a patient is translated during scanning. One or more patient support structures extend from the front of the tomographic imaging system, where the patient is initially placed, through the bores of the system. The patient is translated through the bores of the system and along the patient support structures by an actuator.
