X-ray aiming ring apparatus and setups

Abstract

An X-ray aiming ring apparatus includes an aiming ring defining an opening, and a connector including a first extremity defining an inlet, a second extremity defining an outlet, and an X-ray beam channel through the connector from the inlet to the outlet. The connector extends outward to the first extremity from the second extremity connected to the aiming ring, the X-ray beam channel is open to the opening by the outlet, and the first extremity is configured to connect mechanically to an X-ray machine position-indicating tube having an open discharge end and arranged about an X-ray beam centerline, to open the X-ray beam channel to the open discharge end by the inlet and axially align the open discharge end, the inlet, the X-ray beam channel, and the outlet along the X-ray beam centerline.
