1. An automated disinfection system for a computed tomography (CT) patient table, comprising:
a disinfection mechanism disposed above the CT patient table;
a detection mechanism disposed on the disinfection mechanism and configured to detect a position of the CT patient table; and
a control mechanism configured to communicate with the disinfection mechanism via a communication interface to control operation of the disinfection mechanism,
wherein the disinfection mechanism is configured to move in a horizontal direction that is parallel to the CT patient table and in a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the CT patient table to disinfect a use surface of the CT patient table.
