Claims13
An apparatus comprising:
- a shoulder member configured to engage a first shoulder of a patient;
- a handle;
- and
- two supports disposed between the shoulder member and the handle to connect the shoulder member to the handle, wherein the two supports form a void between the two supports and between the shoulder member and the handle;
- wherein the apparatus is configured for intermittent manual caudal pressure;
- and
- wherein the apparatus is not connected to a second shoulder member that engages a second shoulder of the patient.

An apparatus for anatomic positioning during a radiographic imaging procedure, comprising:
- a first mobile shoulder positioner comprising:
- a first shoulder member configured to engage a first shoulder of a patient;
- a first handle;
- and
- two first supports disposed between the first shoulder member and the first handle to connect the first shoulder member to the first handle, wherein the two first supports form a first void between the two first supports and between the first shoulder member and the first handle;
- a second mobile shoulder positioner comprising:
- a second shoulder member configured to engage a second shoulder of the patient;
- a second handle;
- and
- two second supports disposed between the second shoulder member and the second handle to connect the second shoulder member to the second handle, wherein the two second supports form a second void between the two second supports and between the second shoulder member and the second handle;
- wherein the apparatus is configured for intermittent manual caudal pressure;
- and
- wherein the first mobile shoulder positioner is not connected to the second mobile shoulder positioner.
10 more elements
A method of using anatomic positioning during a radiographic imaging procedure, comprising:
- positioning a subject on a table for an imaging procedure;
- moving shoulders of the subject to not obstruct a view of a cervical spine using a pair of mobile shoulder positioners, wherein each mobile shoulder positioner comprises:
- a shoulder member configured to engage only one shoulder of a patient;
- a handle;
- two supports disposed between the shoulder member and the handle to connect the shoulder member to the handle, wherein the two supports form a void between the two supports and between the shoulder member and the handle;
- wherein the pair of mobile shoulder positioners is configured for intermittent manual caudal pressure;
- and
- wherein the pair of mobile shoulder positioners are independently movable and not connected to each other;
- and
- acquiring a lateral radiographic image of the cervical spine.
