摘要:
The invention is directed to an apparatus for positioning a patient's head for producing a remote X-ray photograph of the skull of the patient. The apparatus includes a device for holding the skull, which is mounted at one end of a cross carrier which is connected to an X-ray diagnostics installation for producing slice exposures of the jaw of a patient. The skull holder contains ear button holders which are adjustable, as well as a nose support for positioning the patient in the skull holder. The apparatus also includes a device for mounting a film cassette, which device is adjustable in a direction towards the radiation source of the X-ray diagnostics installation. In order to be able to make reproducibile temporomaxillary joint exposures, the skull holder is mounted to pivot around a horizontal axis so that the head of the patient can be adjusted in various inclined positions with relation to the sagittal plane.
