An anatomical imaging system comprising: a CT machine and a transport mechanism mounted to the base of the CT machine, wherein the transport mechanism comprises a fine movement mechanism for moving the CT machine precisely, relative to the patient, during scanning. An anatomical imaging system comprising: a CT machine and a transport mechanism mounted to the base of the CT machine, wherein the transport mechanism comprises a gross movement mechanism for transporting the CT machine relatively quickly across room distances and a fine movement mechanism for moving the CT machine precisely, relative to the patent, during scanning. An imaging system comprising: a scanner and a transport mechanism mounted to the base of the scanner, wherein the transport mechanism comprises: a gross movement mechanism for transporting the scanner relatively quickly across room distances and a fine movement mechanism for moving the scanner precisely, relative to the object being scanned, during scanning. A method for scanning a patient comprising: providing an anatomical imaging system, the system comprising: a CT machine and a transport mechanism mounted to the base of the CT machine, wherein the transport machanism comprises: a gross movement mechanism for transporting the CT machine relatively quickly across room distance and a fine movement mechanism for moving the CT machine precisely, relative to the patient, during scanning transporting the CT machine to the patient, across room distances, using the gross movement mechanism and scanning the patient while moving the CT machine precisely, relative to the patient, with the fine movement mechanism. A method for scanning a patient, comprising: moving a CT machine across room distance to the patient and scanning the patient while moving the CT machine precisely relative to the patient during scanning. A method for scanning an object, comprising: moving a scanner across room distances to the object and scanning the object while moving the
