ABSTRACT:
Suspension apparatus is disclosed for holding an X-ray film cassette frame. The apparatus includes clamping means attachable to a suitable support and or a series of independently adjustable arms providing a support for the cassette frame. The arms are adapted for adjustment variously in horizontal and vertical planes with reference to the mounting position of the clamping means and cooperate to extend and retract relative to said clamping means. Thus the cassette frame can be moved through included angles of 360.degree. in both the horizontal and vertical planes and can be extended and retracted between the clamping means and a subject to be photographed. In practice with the present invention it is possible to X-ray a wide variety of different areas of a patient while permitting the subject to remain immobile by adjusting the X-ray film in the cassette to accommodate the position of the immobile patient.
