In a biplane X-ray system, a robot is used for moving at least a pair comprising an X-ray radiation source and an X-ray detector. The robot can be a buckling arm robot bearing an X-ray C-arm. It is also possible for the X-ray radiation source and X-ray detector each to be suspended from the ceiling of the room by means of robot arms.

Biplane X-ray system

The present intervention relates to a medical diagnosis or intervention system with a radiation source, a radiation detector, and a C-arm as a component carrier, to which the radiation source and the radiation detector are fastened. The distance between the radiation source and the radiation detector can be changed by means of a linear guide. The C-arm is fastened to an articulated arm of a robot and the linear guide is arranged in the vicinity of the fastening point of the C-arm on the articulated arm.

Medical system having a C-arm

The invention relates to an X-ray device, in which an X-ray source and an X-ray detector are attached, in an opposed arrangement oriented toward a rotational axis, to a common holder capable of rotating about the rotational axis. To simplify the design of the X-ray device, it is proposed that the holder is attached to the hand of a robot displaying six axes of rotation.
