X-ray examination apparatus comprising a C-shaped or U-shaped support for the X-ray source and detector

摘要

The invention relates to an X-ray examination apparatus in which the X-ray source and the X-ray detector are secured to a C-shaped or U-shaped support. This support comprises two arms which are pivotable about parallel axes and which are coupled to one another in such a way that opposite pivotal movements through equal angles are obtained. The C-shape or the U-shape of the support is then changed, so that the support can be rotated without the risk of a collision with the table top carrying the patient.
