Abstract: Disclosed is an X-ray apparatus having an X-ray source, an X-ray imaging device in confronting relation to the X-ray source, a first support constructed and arranged for performing generally longitudinal movements for supporting the X-ray source, a second support constructed and arranged for performing generally longitudinal movements for supporting the X-ray imaging device, a first movable base for mounting the first support, a second movable base independent of the first movable base for mounting the second support, and a connector releasably interconnecting the support at a predetermined distance for allowing the support as interconnected to be operated in unison.

Abstract: In an X-ray photography apparatus of this invention, an X-ray tube and an image receiving device are attached to two tilting members which are each rockably supported on the distal end portion of a traveling support frame telescopically protruding parallel to a horizontal main axis from a rotating base rotating about the main axis. The position and the angle of X-raying of the X-ray tube may be set as desired by suitably selecting the length of extension of the traveling support frames and the angle of rotation of the tilting members. It is also possible to set as desired the position and direction of an image receiving device for receiving an X-ray beam transmitted through a subject or a patient.
