An X-Ray Tilting i Table 



After the Patient Is 

 Once on the Table 

 He Remains There 

 Until a Complete 

 Examination Has 

 Been Made and 

 Radiographs Taken 



At the Rear of the 

 Table There Is a 

 Tube Carrier Which 

 Moves Automatic- 

 ally with the Screen 

 at Which the Phy- 

 sician Is Looking 



X-RAY photographs oi patients in 

 all possible positions to suit the 

 \'arious conditions with which the 

 physician or surgeon has to deal are made 

 conveniently with a "tube tilt-table," 



invented by Claude E. Campbell, of 

 Lynn, Massachusetts. The device 

 combines in one compact mechanism 

 se\eral pieces of apparatus. 



One of the accompanying photo- 

 graphs shows the table as used for 

 fluoroscopic examination of the pa- 

 tient, who is standing between the 

 fluoroscopic screen and the table. At 

 the rear of the table is a tube carrier 

 which mo\-es automatically witli the 

 screen at which the doctor is looking, 

 making it possible to examine the 

 l)atient's trunk without mo\ing him. 

 The patient and the operator are 

 protected from the X-Ray. 



In the other illustration, the patient 

 is shown on a table tilted down for 

 taking an X-Ray photograph. For the 

 fluoroscopic examination, the screen — 

 not shown in this picture — would be 

 placed o\er the patient. For makinsa; a 

 radiograph the plate would be placed 

 under the patient and the current thrown 

 in the tube holder above the patient. 

 The table can be tilted and locked at 

 whatever angle may be most con\'cnicnt.
