ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for immobilization of infant patients during exposure of X-ray film, particularly in connection with studies requiring the so-called frog-leg position. Use of this invention permits considerable reduction in the extent of exposure of the patient's body, and eliminates the need of manual restraint of extremities and exposure of a non-patient to radiation. Moreover, the required size of film is much reduced. In a preferred embodiment antero-posterior projections of a patient in both straight supine, and frog-leg positions are shown on a single 10 x 12 inch film. The invention virtually eliminates the need to re-expose because of movement of the patient.
