ANTI-VIBRATION DAMPING SYSTEM FOR A CARBON FIBER C-ARM MOUNTED ON A MOBILE BASE

A mobile X-ray imaging system includes an X-ray radiation source. The mobile X-ray imaging system also includes an X-ray detector. The mobile X-ray imaging system further includes a C-arm having the X-ray radiation source disposed on a first end and the X-ray detector disposed on a second end opposite the first end. The mobile X-ray imaging system further includes a C-arm rotation device coupled to the C-arm and configured to rotate the C-arm in an orbital direction relative to the C-arm rotation device. The mobile X-ray imaging system further includes a mobile base coupled to the C-arm rotation device, wherein the mobile base is configured to move the mobile X-ray imaging system, and wherein the mobile base includes a damping system configured to dampen vibrations that occur when the C-arm deaccelerates to a stop during rotational movement of the C-arm in a single or combined direction.
