ABSTRACT:
An articulated x-ray table comprises a planar, rigid radiolucent top support and a base spaced therefrom to form a gap whereby radiographic plates can be inserted and withdrawn. The gap is maintained by the use of one or more trolleys that are moveable along the length of the table to be moved into proximity to the location where the plate is to be inserted. Generally, two of the trolleys are used along either side of the table for placement near the x-ray plate. The trolleys move in grooves or tracks on the edges of the base along the length of the table. Each trolley includes wheels that engage the grooves, and a separate roller that engages the top support. This permits the trolleys to be easily moved along the guide notwithstanding the weight of a patient on the table. The table can be used for animals and humans.
