Claim:
1. An x-ray-compatible infant monitoring and support system comprising: a sensor-carrying body configured to carry one or more sensors; one or more sensors carried by the sensor-carrying body, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to generate one or more output signals conveying information related to one or more physiological parameters of an infant, the one or more physiological parameters including one or more of a heart rate, a respiration rate, a temperature, or an oxygen saturation level of the infant; an infant-supporting body configured to support an infant on a top-surface of the infant-supporting body; a lifting tray, wherein the infant-supporting body is configured to be disposed on the lifting tray, the lifting tray including a lifting/lowering mechanism, the lifting/lowering mechanism being configured to lower the sensor-carrying body to separate the sensor-carrying body from the infant-supporting body, wherein the sensor-carrying body is moveable relative to the infant-supporting body, while remaining attached to the x-ray-compatible infant monitoring and support system, to facilitate capture of an x-ray image of the supported infant that is uncorrupted by image degradation related to the one or more sensors.
