  • X-ray examination apparatus provided with a tiltable patient table
    Patent number: 6382832
    Abstract: The invention relates to an X-ray examination apparatus which can be universally used for X-ray fluoroscopy and X-ray exposures. It includes a tiltable patient table, a horizontally displaceable stand on which an X-ray source is mounted so as to be vertically displaceable, and a coupling member which couples the stand or the X-ray source to the image converter arrangement provided in the patient table. Depending on the type of coupling, either X-ray fluoroscopy and Bucky exposures or slice exposures are possible. Furthermore, other exposure modes can be performed when the stand is decoupled from the coupling member.
