ABSTRACT:
A positioning and supporting arrangement for a patient to be irradiated with penetrating radiation is disclosed. The patient is supported on a curved platter, the curvature of which conforms to the curvature of an arcuate groove formed longitudinally in a table or couch. In order that the platter may be slidably moved along the groove, a suitable drive means therefor is described. Preferably a shroud covers the underside of the platter, the shroud being formed of, or including, material which provides a well defined, consistent coefficient of friction between the platter and the table or couch.
