A mobility apparatus for an imaging appliance such as a panoramic radiograph machine allows single-operator transport for on-site usage with ambulatory challenged patients. A counterbalanced pivot interface integrates the imaging appliance with a motorized transport vehicle for disposing the appliance securely on the vehicle, while the counterbalanced pivot interface allows positioning to an operational upright orientation for on-site usage. The imaging appliance includes modifications to a stock appliance for adapting the pivot interface for mobility and for usage with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) affected patients, such as wheelchair and scooter bound individuals. The modifications include a truncated base and truncated vertical riser, coupled with a counterbalance mass on the vehicle to maintain stability in the deployed and transportable positions. The lowered vertical riser permits the imaging mechanism to descend to accommodate seated patients. The counterbalance mass offsets the truncated base and allows the transport vehicle to support the deployed appliance. The counterbalanced pivot interface permits transition from a deployed to a transportable, or stowed, position by pivoting the substantially vertical stance of the appliance to an angled, stowed orientation.
