Claim:
A breast-board system sized and adapted to attach to a radiation therapy table comprising: a unitary base board; a planar tilt board having an upper end and a lower end, the lower end being attached to the unitary base board, the planar tilt board being configured to fully support a thoracic portion of a body of a patient, the planar tilt board being rotatable relative to the unitary base board between a first position in which the planar tilt board is oriented generally parallel to the unitary base board and at least one additional position in which the planar tilt board is oriented at an angle to the unitary base board; at least one movable support member extending between the unitary base board and the planar tilt board, the at least one movable support member supporting the planar tilt board relative to the unitary base board when the planar tilt board is in the at least one additional position, and the at least one movable support member having a portion movable in a longitudinal direction relative to the unitary base board; at least one support recess in the unitary base board for receiving the portion of the at least one movable support member therein when the planar tilt board is in the at least one additional position, the portion of the at least one movable support member at least partially in contact with the unitary base board; and at least a first support locking member located on the unitary base board adjacent to the at least one support recess and movable between a first position and a second position, the at least a first support locking member at least partially covering the at least one support recess and preventing removal of the portion of the at least one movable support member from the at least one support recess when the at least a first support locking member is in the first position, the portion of the at least one movable support member being removable from the at least one support recess when the at least a first support locking member is in the second position.
