Abstract: A surgical table (1) comprises a longitudinal, at least partly radiolucent table top (2), a support structure (3) for the table top, said support structure including a lateral tilting mechanism (4) for providing lateral tilting movement to the table top (2), a base (B) for supporting the support structure and the table top, and lateral floating means (6) for allowing the table top a floating horizontal movement in lateral directions relative to the base (5). According to the invention said lateral floating means (6) are positioned below the lateral tilting mechanism (4) for permitting undisturbed lateral floating movement in horizontal as well as tilted positions of the table top (2).
