Abstract
A portable barium test apparatus is used to perform Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBSS) on patients in different locations, such as the home of the patient or a care facility. The apparatus includes a hand truck, a U-shaped support, a height-adjusting track, a support carriage, an X-ray generator, and an image-capturing device. The hand truck allows the medical staff to transport the apparatus to the desired location to perform the procedure. The U-shaped support maintains the X-ray generator and the image-capturing device at the desired arrangement to perform the procedure. The height-adjusting track enables the repositioning of the U-shaped support at the desired height to accommodate the patient. The support carriage connects the U-shaped support to the height-adjusting track and maintains the arrangement of the U-shaped support during the procedure. The X-ray generator and the image-capturing device enable the medical staff to perform the MBSS procedure on the patient.
