A patient table (20) for radiation detection, e.g. for electronic image storage or X-ray photography, includes a receptor unit (2) carried by an arm and link system (3-9). The receptor unit is mounted in a stand part (1b) which is movable in the Z-direction, wherein the receptor unit is movably carried in the longitudinal direction of said stand part (the X-direction) and is adapted for co-action with a radiation source. The receptor arm and link system (3-9) includes a primary arm (4) mounted on one end of a primary vertical pivot shaft (3), a secondary vertical pivot shaft (5) and a secondary arm (6) mounted on said secondary pivot shaft. Also provided is a tertiary arm (8) which is connected to a second horizontal pivot shaft (9) via generally U-shaped arm parts (8a), said second pivot shaft (9) extending at right angles to the first horizontal pivot axis (7). The receptor can be swung upwards and outwards to different positions on the front and rear sides of the table (20). Means (e.g. 12) are also provided for positively controlling the movements of said arms. |
