CT In A Box (Book)

This is a CT playset which fits into a LEGO storybook.

 

This photograph shows the playset after things have unfolded.

 

Poor Emmet was hit in the head with a DUPLO brick, and the situation is serios.

 

How to deploy the playset:

- Open the storybook

- Flip up the backrest of the swivel chair

- Temporarily remove Emmet + patient table and the doctor from the book

- Rotate the table base appr. 180 degs toward the CT (the cogweel holding the table base is placed on a turn table. The swiveling table ensures that the book may be closed with all the equipment inside).

- Place the table containing poor Emmet on the table base.

- Place the doctor, either at the CT or on the swivel chair at the PC.

- If needed, rotate the IV stand closer towards the CT.

Now the patient table containing Emmet can be pushed into the CT scanner.

 

Background

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, in April 2020 a French hospital was in dire need of an additional CT canner.

Normally, the entire process from order to installment of such a device takes several months.

However there was the option to get an entire CT suite, a "CT In A Box" delivered and deployed within a fortnight.

The container including the full system was placed on a parking deck.
