ABSTRACT:
A system for applying a force caudally to the shoulders of a patient laying flat on a hospital table for purposes of taking x-rays of the neck area of the patient. This system includes a shoulder harness having a band near the shoulders with straps attached to the band. The straps extend longitudinally across the body of the patient toward the feet and, at the edge of the table on which the patient is laying, the straps are directed downward by means of pulleys. Hanging on the ends of the straps are weights. If the straps are criss-crossed across the patient, they will tend to pull the patient's shoulders down and inward, allowing for a better x-ray view of the neck area of the patient.
