A disposable plastic covering includes a seal region and an apron region
for use in directing fluids away from an interior region of the machine
to prevent the fluids from entering a CT machine. The covering includes
an inert adhesive material for securing a seal. The adhesive material
fastens the seal region of the plastic covering across an opening between
an external casing and a window arranged above a moving ring upon which
an X-ray emitter and detector are arranged. The apron region of the
plastic covering extends from within a central opening of the CT machine
to direct fluids from within the machine to an exterior of the machine. A
second plastic covering is arranged on an opposite side of the window and
seals the second seam. A further embodiment includes a pouch region in
the disposable plastic covering for directing fluid therein. An
additional covering is provided for controls of the machine.
