Patent ID: 10835194

Abstract:
A movable X-ray bucky assembly includes an X-ray track unit that is mounted to a ceiling of an X-ray room. The X-ray track unit includes a positioning rail that is slidable along a lateral axis of the X-ray track unit. An X-ray bucky mount is movably coupled to the positioning rail and the X-ray bucky mount is movable along a longitudinal axis of the positioning rail. Thus, the X-ray bucky mount can be positioned at a plurality of locations in the X-ray room. An X-ray detection panel is pivotally coupled to the X-ray bucky mount. Thus, the X-ray detection panel can be positioned adjacent to a patient regardless of the position of the patient within the X-ray room. In this way an X-ray image can be taken of the patient when the patient is not able to stand in front of a conventional wall mounted X-ray detection panel.
