ABSTRACT:
A patient positioning device (FIG. 1a) made of a sheet of rigid material having a back (10) and a base (12) at right angles to one another, and of sufficient size to support a patient (24) (FIG. 2a) during movement into a lateral decubitus position. A pad (14) is placed upon the top surface of the base (12) of sufficient size to provide comfort and elevation to the patient (24). The pad (14) is placed at a certain distance from the back (10) to create a slot (16) to accommodate a film cassette (28) parallel to the back (10). The patient (24) is supported on an even plane with the film cassette (28) between patient (24) and back (10) when in a proper lateral decubitus position (FIG. 2e).
