Zusammenfassung:	The present invention describes an apparatus for an improved patient support table for use in nuclear medical studies. The table provides regions, such as a slot or hole, where there is lowered radiation attenuation for particular regions of the body. By supporting and aligning the patient with these regions of lowered radiation attenuation, better image quality and/or lowered radiation dosage may be achieved.
