ABSTRACT:
A patient support includes a support surface and lifting structure adapted to permit the insertion of an x-ray cassette beneath the portion of the patient's body that is to be x-rayed. The structure for lifting preferably includes a plurality of inflatable runners. Structure for selectively deflating the runners is provided so as to permit insertion of an x-ray cassette between adjacent runners and beneath the patient. Structure for placing the inflatable runners in fluid connection with fluid supply means is provided such that the runners can be reinflated. In an alternative embodiment, the inflatable runners can be replaced by mechanical lifting apparatus.
