Abstract: A digital radiography system, having an X-ray source and an X-ray imaging detector, for capturing an image of a subject. The system has a moveable base that is translatable along two separate directions to a location selected by an operator. The system has a first rotatable telescoping support member coupled to the moveable base, the X-ray source being rotatably coupled to the first rotatable telescopic support member, and being adapted to translate and rotate to locate the X-ray source in a position selected by the operator. The system further has a second rotatable telescoping support member coupled to the moveable base, the X-ray imaging detector being rotatably coupled to the second rotatable telescoping support member, and being adapted to translate with the moveable base and rotate to locate the X-ray imaging detector in a position selected by the operator.

Abstract: A digital radiography apparatus. The apparatus includes a support member having a first axis; a bucky; and a mounting member attached to the support member and supporting the bucky. The mounting members is adapted to move the bucky substantially along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis between a retracted position wherein the bucky is disposed proximate the support member to an extended position wherein the bucky is not disposed proximate the support member.

Abstract: An apparatus for rotating a bucky about an axis between a first and second position. The apparatus includes a base member stationarily disposed on the bucky and having a first and second rotational position; a first and second absorption member; and a first and second assembly. The first assembly is disposed at the first position and is slidably mounted relative to the base member. It includes a first detent adapted to receive a roller when the bucky is in the first position. The first assembly is disposed intermediate the first absorption member and base member such that the first absorption member biases the first assembly toward the base member. The second assembly is disposed at the second position and is slidably mounted relative to the base member. It includes a second detent adapted to receive a roller when the bucky is in the second position.
