A patient-supporting apparatus includes a lifting apparatus. The lifting apparatus includes an upper part, a lower part, and a lifting linkage. The lifting linkage connects the upper part to the lower part and has at least one scissors-form sub-linkage having a central articulation. A point of rotation of the central articulation is arranged in a displaceable manner such that the upper part may be tilted in a transverse direction.

An arrangement for an X-ray image system with a grid frame arranged to enable the grid frame to oscillate is provided. The arrangement includes a switch unit, with which an anti-scatter grid inserted into the grid frame may be detected. An X-ray emission is only triggered by the switch unit at a predeterminable activation time if an anti-scatter grid is inserted.

The present embodiments relate to an X-ray apparatus having a movable detector housing, in which a radiation detector is arranged. The X-ray apparatus includes at least one releasable interlock device configured to inhibit or enable the maneuverability of the movable detector housing. At least one control element is arranged on the movable detector housing, using which the at least one releasable interlock device is actuated. At least one grab handle element is also arranged on the movable detector housing. The movable detector housing is movable by hand and is holdable by a patient using the at least one grab handle element.
