ABSTRACT:
A portable x-ray cassette holder apparatus includes a flat radiolucent patient supporting surface having a flat base surface and a patient supporting surface. The flat base surface is spaced a predetermined spaced distance from the patient supporting surface with spacer members. An x-ray cassette holding portion holds an x-ray cassette between the patient supporting surface and the flat base for holding the cassette loaded with film in predetermined position. An x-ray cassette guide utilizes the spacing members for guiding the x-ray cassette into the x-ray cassette holder where the x-ray cassette is held in position during the taking of an x-ray. A patient gripping member handle is removably attached to the patient supporting surface in a predetermined position and extending substantially perpendicular therefrom for gripping by a patient during the taking of an x-ray in a sitting position. The flat base surface is larger than and extends out from the spaced patient supporting surface and has the handles formed therein for toting the portable x-ray cassette holder. A padded cover is removably attached with VELCRO fasteners or the like to the patient support surface and has a detachable cylindrical head support. The spacing members are cylindrical members made of a self-lubricating polymer having a bore therethrough for attaching fasteners through the spacing members to attach the patient supporting surface to the base surface and at the same time provide guides for the insertion of the x-ray cassette.
