A patient support of the type which is used for conducting medical examinations has a base with a patient support plate thereon. A gurney, for bringing a patient to the patient support to conduct an examination, has a carriage with its own patient support plate. The gurney is positioned adjacent to the patient support and the patient is transferred from the gurney to the patient support while remaining on the gurney support plate, the gurney support plate being held on the patient support by bearings. The gurney support plate is attached to the gurney carriage by a longitudinal guide, so that the gurney support plate is adjustable along its longitudinal axis. The gurney support plate can then be longitudinally co-displaced with the support plate of the apparatus patient support, so that it need not be detached from the carriage.
