Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile X-ray examination unit including a C-bend which carries an X-radiator and a radiation receiver at its ends. The C-bend is displaceably seated on a carriage and hinged to the carriage, whereby the two articulation axes proceed parallel to one another. The arm has a fixed length, whereby this fixed length is dimensioned such and the arm is hinged to the carriage at such a location that the arm is pivotable, first, into a roughly vertical position and, second, into a roughly horizontal position and the C-bend is simultaneously pivotable into such a respective position that the X-radiator and the radiation receiver lie on a straight line proceeding about parallel to the arm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a radiodiagnostic apparatus with an x-ray tube, a diaphragm which is semitransparent at least areawise and which clears a slit variable in its width and letting the radiation go through, with an x-ray image intensifier and a television camera coupled thereto for the generation of video signals which is connected to a monitor for reproduction of the video signals. The diaphragm consists of several individual blades which abut against one another in parallel on both sides of the slit and are adjustable in longitudinal direction individually dependent on the size of the object to be viewed. To the television camera an evaluating circuit is connected which supplies a control signal obtained from the video signal to a setting device for the individual blades.
