Method and imaging apparatus for 3-D X-ray examination of a patient in an upright or sitting position, so that the patient's natural anatomical loading can be examined

摘要

X-ray apparatus has a mechanical mounting (103-105) with a vertical guide (105) for adjusting the vertical position of X- ray source (101) and detector (102). An Independent claim is included for a corresponding method for producing 3-D X-ray images, whereby the images are recorded while the patient is standing or at least partially upright.
