ABSTRACT:
An X-Ray Shadow Prevention Device for use in the taking of chest exposures for the prevention of the formation of shadows on the exposed film caused by contact of the nipples of the patient with the surface of the X-ray film-holder. The device includes a resilient layer of foam rubber or the equivalent which deforms upon contact with the patient, and prevents the forming of a quasicircular air space surrounding the nipples which cause a correspondingly-shaped shadow to appear on the film.
