Abstract
X-Ray apparatus comprises a table with an improved top having opposed longitudinal frame members at its sides and a comparatively thin panel extending therebetween. The thin panel is capable of supporting substantial weight due to the panel being maintained in continuous tension. This tension is effected by fasteners which secure end members to the longitudinal frame members and impose forces in opposite directions on the panel transversely thereof. The thin panel permits the patient to be positioned closer to the plane of the X-ray film in the bucky below the table top and also provides a structure which absorbs a relatively small amount of X-ray radiation.
