Gantry

A gantry is a framework that straddles or is positioned above an area to support equipment or machinery. Commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and medical imaging, it often includes beams or arms that can move or hold instruments, allowing precise positioning and movement. For example, in a hospital, a gantry supports an MRI machine, enabling it to rotate around a patient for detailed imaging. Essentially, it's a sturdy, organized structure designed to facilitate accurate and flexible operation of large or heavy equipment.
