Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a patient table with a gurney and a base. The gurney can slide between two extreme positions, an electrically supplied motoreducer controlled by a control unit causing the table to slide and having a lock/unlock system of the sliding that is mechanical, independent from the electrical supply, and manually controlled by a grabbing organ actuated by a human operator. The patient table may be provided together with a gantry having a housing transparent to light for at least part of its extension, and a control unit of the radiographic apparatus. The housing or a part thereof is associated with a source of light, and the control unit, when the apparatus is electrically supplied, and/or other status conditions are determined by a status sensor, causes the light source to be illuminated and the housing to light up in its translucent parts signalling the status condition.
