ABSTRACT:
A catheter lab imaging apparatus for imaging a heart region of a patient positioned thereon. The apparatus includes a catheter lab table, an x-ray imager positioned about the table and including a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter being pivotable relative to the table to image the patient along predetermined imaging axes, a catheter lab table pad for supporting the patient on the table. The pad includes a top radiolucent layer defining a top surface of the pad and bottom radiolucent layer defining a bottom surface of the pad, the bottom layer being joined to the top layer around the periphery thereof to define at least one sealed chamber for supporting the patient. The pad may further include at least one interior seam positioned within the chamber to limit separation between the top layer and the bottom layer, wherein each of the interior seams is positioned such that each of the predetermined imaging axes avoids intersection with all of the interior seams when a patient is positioned on the pad.
