Abstract
The invention relates to mammographs, and more particularly to a device enabling the mammograph to adapt to different sizes of a cassette, and to displace cassettes. The device essentially comprises a sliding member which, when moved, changes the distance between holding pegs to match new lateral dimensions of a the cassette while still pressing the cassette against a reference edge of the table. In addition, the sliding member is carried on a plate member which moves in such a manner that one or other of the side edges of the cassette can be brought into alignment with the corresponding side of the table.
