A system for supporting a patient on a removable patient support unit, such as a backboard, includes a platform having spaced elements for supporting the removable patient support unit. The patient support unit is elevated above the platform and there is an unimpeded region between the platform and the patient support unit to facilitate placing x-ray film cassettes under the patient. The x-ray film cassettes can be placed and adjusted without disturbing the patient. The platform has features to hold x-ray film cassettes in a vertical position, catch and hold blood, support the backboard at an angle, and provide containers for sharp instruments. The system also includes arm boards for constraining the patient. A mattress covered bed can also be used with the platform.
