Abstract: Mammography apparatus, in particular for tomosynthesis, has a subject table extending in an X-Y plane, an x-ray radiator, a detector arranged opposite the x-ray radiator, held (supported by) and a compression element a holder. The x-ray radiator is supported such that it can pivot in an X-Z plane around a central axis proceeding parallel to the Y-direction. In order to be able to acquire interference-free exposures of a subject to be examined, the compression element exhibits a length in the X-direction that is greater than the extent of the detector in the X-direction, such that the holder of the compression element casts no shadows in the x-ray exposure.
