A rigid patient support element that is substantially transparent to high energy x-radiation comprising a structural core and one or more perforated face sheets attached to at least one of the top side or bottom side of the element. The support element reduces Compton scattering thereby reducing patient skin damage. The support element of the present invention can be integrated into a patient support surface, used as an insert or used as a spacer and easily removable from a patient support surface.
