Are there specific weight distribution guidelines for patients on the radiography table?

Weight distribution on a radiography table is crucial for obtaining accurate and clear diagnostic images while ensuring patient safety. While there may not be universal guidelines, medical imaging professionals follow general principles. For supine or erect positions, centering the body part of interest along the central axis of the X-ray beam helps achieve uniform exposure. Placing heavier body parts towards the table’s center and lighter parts towards the edges can aid in balancing the load and minimizing image distortion. Additionally, using positioning aids and immobilization devices helps maintain proper alignment and weight distribution. Specific protocols may vary based on the imaging procedure and patient condition. Radiographers adhere to established standards and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure optimal positioning, minimizing the impact of weight distribution on image quality and patient care. We are a professional manufacturer of X-ray machines and their accessories.
