Abstract:
1. A radiographic apparatus with laser positioning system comprising: an x-ray generator, said x-ray generator capable of projecting an x-ray beam in a first lateral direction; a receptor, said receptor positioned in alignment with said generator in said first lateral direction for receiving said x-ray beam; said first laser unit having two emitters, each of said emitters capable of projecting a laser beam in said first lateral direction; said two emitters being independently and movably mounted on a curved track; said curved track being affixed to a collimator such that the center of said track coincides with said x-ray beam of said x-ray generator; a second laser unit, said second laser unit mounted on a side of said receptor such that said second laser unit is capable of projecting a laser beam in a second lateral direction that is orthogonal to said first lateral direction; a third laser unit, said third laser unit mounted above said receptor such that said third laser unit is capable of projecting a laser beam in a vertical direction that is orthogonal to said first lateral direction and said second lateral direction.
