ABSTRACT:
A medical apparatus includes a light source for casting a light pattern upon a patient. The light source is fixed vertically with respect to a reference such as the position of a transducer. The light source is movable about a horizontal axis once its vertical position is fixed to adjust the angle of the light pattern with respect to horizontal. A level is fixed with respect to the light source to indicate when the light source is level so that the position of the light pattern cast upon a patient indicates the relative vertical position of the patient with respect to the reference.
