title: Radiography transculcitam: technique and devices to simplify bedside radiography.
abstract: Bedside chest radiography may be simplified by placement of the cassette under the mattress instead of directly under the patient. With the cassette pressed down into the mattress, a horizontal lateral view can be obtained without having to lift the patient. One technician can use two simple devices to obtain anteroposterior and lateral views, even of a heavy, unconscious patient. A cassette holder for cross-table views of small subjects is also described.
