Patent ID: 7104689

Claim:
A device for aiming a human or animal object when attached in an X-ray imaging apparatus provided with: a radiographic imaging detector; a radiation source within a casing having radiation transparent means for output of an exposing X-ray beam to said imaging detector, said X-ray beam having a centerline, at least said radiation source being movable into different points along a predetermined path; and a space between said radiation source and said imaging detector for positioning said object, said device comprising: at least one laser, emitting visible light; and at least two light guides having first ends and second ends, said first ends connected to said at least one laser for receiving said visible light, and each of said second ends positioned around said radiation transparent means and providing a light beam, and said light beams exiting from said second ends being directed towards said imaging detector with an angle of convergence between each of said light beams and said centerline of the X-ray beam, said light beams from said second ends adjusted to intersect in a predetermined focus point visible within said space, said focus point individually indicating a proper position of the object for an X-ray imaging thereof.
