Each X-ray image system includes a devices for emitting X-rays and a radiation receiving device located in the direction of the radiation. These are disposed, on receiving radiation, to emit signals to a TV-monitor. The two X-ray image systems form an integral X-ray image unit which is supported by a carrier device. By means of a connection device, the X-ray image unit is movably connected to the carrier device and, in association with the connection device, the X-ray image unit is movably journalled for altering the angle of inclination of a plane through the center axes of the rays for the two X-ray image systems.
