A new device to support handicapped patients during venography or myelography.
The authors describe a seating device which holds the patient in position when the x-ray table is tilted and permits non-weight-bearing venograms to be obtained in handicapped as well as normal patients. Simultaneous bilateral venography reduces the study time considerably. The device is also helpful in lumbar myelography in paraplegics.
