ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for placing film in the proper position for taking an x-ray or similar image of a patient lying on a bed having a compressible mattress is comprised of a base which supports the apparatus and is arranged for fitting between the bed and the mattress. A film holder, which is arranged for removably receiving and carrying a film cassette is adjustably positioned above the mattress adjacent to the patient by a positioning apparatus which is interconnected to both the base and the film holder. A locking device associated with the positioning apparatus locks the film holder relative to the base when it is in its desired location. Accordingly, the film holder support apparatus can be used to compress the mattress alongside of the patient thereby permitting the film to be placed in a location adjacent to the patient which would otherwise be occupied by the mattress. The locking device is arranged to be automatically engaged when the film holder is placed in position and in one embodiment utilizes the compressible nature of the mattress itself to achieve locking.
