There is disclosed a support surface which is particularly suited for supporting a patient and permitting X-rays of the patient to be taken. The support surface comprises at least two substantially rigid support elements coupled together by a flexible joining element such that relative movement between the support elements can take place. The support elements and flexible joining elements are radio-lucent with at least an area through which X-rays are (in use of a support surface) to pass, being of such relative thicknesses and composition that said area is of substantially uniform radio-lucence. |
