PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a patient positioning plate that ensures stable and comfortable positioning of a patient while hardly disturbing radiography of the patient lying on the positioning plate.SOLUTION: The plate includes an outer shell surrounding a hollow part filled with a filler material. The shell comprises a tab-like upper portion 36 and a tab-like lower portion 38. The upper and lower portions 36 and 38 respectively have tab floor faces 40 and 42 forming the upper and lower sides of the plate, while the tab floor faces 40 and 42 respectively form tab edges 44 and 46 with an internal angle greater than 90 degrees. The tab floor faces 40 and 42 of the two portions 36 and 38 are both made flat. The upper and lower portions 36 and 38 are fitted with each other such that the tab floor faces 40 and 42 surround the hollow part of the shell.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】一方では患者の安定した快適な位置決めを確実にしつつ、他方では位置決めプレート上に横たわる患者のレントゲン撮影を殆ど妨げない患者位置決めプレートを提供する。【解決手段】充填剤物質が充填された中空部を囲む外側シェルを備え、シェルがタブ状の上側部分36及びタブ状の下側部分38で構成され、上側部分36及び下側部分38がプレートの上側と下側とを形成するタブ床面40,42をそれぞれ備え、タブ床面40,42が内角を90°よりも大きくしたタブ縁部44,46を形成し、二つの部分36,38のタブ床面40,42を互いに平面にし、かつ、シェルの中空部をタブ床面40,42で囲むように、上側部分36と下側部分38とが互いに嵌合される。【選択図】図3
