ABSTRACT:
An X-ray film support is adapted for providing X-ray pictures of the extremities of the human body from a variety of directions with a relatively simple structure formed of a front leg and a back leg which are joined together by a lower brace and an upper brace. The upper brace is used for support of the extremity such as a hand or a foot while the lower brace has stirrups extending laterally therefrom for the support of X-ray film cassettes. The legs are of adjustable length for aligning the object being X-rayed with the center of the film cassette. Also, the braces are of adjustable length so that, by a telescoping action of the legs and braces to their minimum lengths, the film support can be reduced to a relatively small size for convenience in stowage and for adjustment to limb length. A fold-over flap is secured to a back end of the upper brace for draping over the upper brace and beneath the object being X-rayed so as to provide a space between the upper brace and the flap wherein a film cassette may be positioned for photographing the object from underneath. A binding strap secures the object to the flap adjacent its connection with the upper brace.
