Radiolucent surgical table with low shadow accessory interface profile

A radiolucent surgical table ( 40 ) is provided with a low shadow accessory interface profile ( 70 ). The interface profile includes a plurality of interconnected curved surfaces formed along the entire outer edge of the patient support member for selective attachment to a range of medical accessory devices. The support interface includes a non-planar first connection area ( 72 ) having a recess ( 82 ) and a curved lip area ( 90 ) adapted to engage correspondingly formed surfaces ( 122, 126 ) on a medical accessory connector ( 110, 140 ). A second connection area ( 76 ) of the support interface ( 70 ) includes a planar locating surface ( 100 ) formed at an angle oblique with the top surface ( 74 ) of the patient support member. Engagement with the locating surface by corresponding surfaces formed on the medical accessory connectors ( 110, 140 ) generate a downward force that causes an increase in the engagement forces between the recess and lip areas of the interface and corresponding surfaces on the accessory connectors.
