Patient positioning apparatus for use in taking medical X-rays is designed for properly aligning the patient at the optimum angle to the X-ray camera and film. The apparatus includes a base, a horizontal arm, angle indicating means on the base, and arm mounting means for mounting the arm on the base at a horizontal angle selected on the angle indicating means. A head clamp also is provided. The horizontal arm and head clamp are so arranged as to require the patient to place his feet in alignment with the arm, and his head in alignment with his feet. This aligns his entire body at the desired angle with respect to the X-ray apparatus.
