ABSTRACT:
A device for supporting and transporting an injured person includes a generally rectangular board for supporting the person in a supine position. The board is formed of a radiolucent material and has relatively flat opposed top and bottom surfaces, opposed first and second sides and opposed first and second ends. The board has a plurality of slots spaced longitudinally along the board between the top and bottom surfaces. Each of the slots is adapted to receive a radio-imaging plate with the plate oriented substantially parallel to the top and bottom surfaces for anterior/posterior radio-imaging of the person's body. First and second laterally spaced projections extend upwardly from the top surface adjacent the first side and third and fourth laterally spaced projections extend upwardly from the top surface adjacent the second side. The first and second projections define a first groove therebetween and the third and fourth projections define a second groove therebetween. The first and second grooves are adapted to receive a radio-imaging plate with the plate oriented substantially perpendicular to the top and bottom surfaces for lateral radio-imaging of the person's body. Respective portions of the first and fourth projections extend outwardly from the respective first and second sides to define respective elongated first and second handles.
