Abstract: An apparatus for immobilizing and positioning the head, shoulder, and torso region extending down to the mid thigh of the human for radiographic examination or treatment. The device consists of a base board with an extension, a head and shoulder form, a pair of chest side forms and a pair of side rails. A foam mixture is applied to the upper surface of the baseboard and the entire device is placed into a large flexible container or bag. A patient's head, shoulder and torso region are placed on the device in a supine position. The patient remains in a fixed position while the foam mixture expands around the patient's body and the apparatus. After a brief period of time, the foam sets or hardens and a mold or template is formed. This mold serves to immobilize the head, shoulder and torso region extending down to the mid thigh of the body during radiographic examinations and treatment as well as other procedures.
