Abstract
Disclosed are patient positioning systems that support a patient in the prone position. A patient positioning system includes a chest bolster and one or more head supports selectively attachable to the chest bolster. The chest bolster elevates the patient's thorax and provides for gentle cervical flexion, while the one or more head supports can be attached to the chest bolster in different configurations to support the patient in a face down position or with the head turned laterally.
