ABSTRACT:
A combination portable x-ray table and stretcher immobilizes an emergency patient from time of pick-up through x-ray examination without further movement or manipulation of the patient relative to the table/stretcher, thus reducing the risk of further injury. The table/stretcher has a flat rigid low x-ray attenuation (1 mm aluminum equivalent or less) top support on which the patient is placed. The top is spaced apart from a base by a pair of side supports. The device also has an open interior space or channel accessed from openings at each end in which x-ray film cassettes can be positioned under the patient without touching the patient. Transparent side supports allow visual observation of film placement for accurate positioning.
