A patient support for scintillation camera imaging applications is formed as a unitary element having a generally constant wall thickness. The element has shoulder, neck and head sections shaped to receive a patient's shoulders neck, and head respectively, and at least two elongated and indented stiffening sections extending between the shoulder section and the neck section. Advantageously, each stiffening section has a bottom wall extending parallel to the surrounding unindented wall and oblique side walls, with gradual transitions between adjacent walls. In a preferred embodiment the unitary element is tiltably interlocked with a patient pallet by means of two offset projecting tabs inserted in mating pallet holes. The tilt angle may be controlled by inserting a wedge between the element and the pallet.
