    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging Technology
    • Radiological Devices
    • Patient Positioning Systems

    Background:

    • Single-plane cine equipment is a standard in diagnostic imaging.
    • Obtaining specific projections, such as half-axial, can be challenging with existing setups.
    • The need for specialized, adaptable, and cost-effective positioning devices is recognized.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new device for achieving half-axial projection.
    • To complement existing single-plane cine equipment.
    • To offer a cost-effective and user-friendly solution for patient positioning.

    Main Methods:

    • A device was designed to allow adjustable patient positioning.
    • The device facilitates longitudinal deviation of the patient's upper body (0-20 degrees).
    • It also allows for horizontal deviation relative to a rotating cradle (0-70 degrees).

    Main Results:

    • The device enables a single technician to operate.
    • It offers a range of motion for achieving specific projections.
    • Construction costs are under $100.
    • Assembly can be performed by hospital personnel.

    Conclusions:

    • The described device is a practical and economical solution for enhancing cine imaging capabilities.
    • It simplifies the process of obtaining half-axial projections.
    • The low cost and ease of assembly make it suitable for widespread hospital adoption.
