X-ray-transparent adjustable head section (AD242A)**
The X-ray-transparent adjustable head section accessory allows a cassette for 35 x 43
cm X-ray films (as per the standard EN ISO 4090) to be installed in order to take chest X-
rays. It is installed in place of the hard surface of the head section.
The type (foam or air), the materials, the density and the thickness of the mattress, and the
weight and morphology of the patient can affect the quality of the X-ray images. The best
way to produce X-rays of an optimal quality is to get as close to the patient as possible.
The radiologist is responsible for deciding on the best solution to take the X-ray according
to the medical target and the hospital’s protocol adapted to the patient’s illness.
For patients weighing more than 100kg, the user must adjust the angle of the head
section and the position of the patient to produce quality images.
