  • Publication number: 20250127466
    Abstract: A shielding system for reducing scatter radiation during x-ray imaging procedures may include a drawer feature to temporarily move a shield portion laterally outward from a medical procedure table. A shielding system for reducing scatter radiation during x-ray imaging procedures may include a curtain feature to temporarily move a shield portion to enable a range of positioning of an x-ray source around a medical procedure table; in some embodiments, the shield portion may include wound wire stays to flexibly and/or temporarily conform to movement of equipment near the medical procedure table. A shielding system for reducing scatter radiation during x-ray imaging procedures may include a rail extension feature to enable mounting or flexible positioning of components near a medical procedure table; in some aspects, the rail extension may include an undercut region that facilitates placement of jam boards and the like under a patient during a procedure.

  • Publication number: 20240260912
    Abstract: X-ray procedure tables with improved structural strength that enable radiation shielding and integrated medical device and monitoring systems. 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. The X-ray procedure table may be formed from a sled table attachable to a pedestal, with at least one side member extending along a bottom of the sled table to add structural rigidity.
