The design allows the incorporation of an integrated patient support structure, radiation shielding and associated devices and conduits for medical care in procedures that employ X-ray imaging.
Claims11
An X-ray table having a pedestal and a sled table attached to the pedestal in a cantilever arrangement, the sled table comprising:
- a carbon fiber bottom attached to the pedestal and having a first end and a second end, the first end including a first outer edge and the second end including a second outer edge, wherein the second outer edge is attached to the pedestal, and wherein the first end extends from the pedestal such that the second outer edge is supported by the pedestal and the first outer edge is not supported by the pedestal;
- side members extending along the carbon fiber bottom between the first end and the second end and adding structural rigidity to the sled table;
- and,
- wherein the side members extend upwardly from the carbon fiber bottom configured to create a first cavity, the first cavity extending at least partially between the first outer edge and the second outer edge.
