The invention relates to a stand () which is especially adapted to support for a digital X-ray detector () for an X-ray system (), and to an X-ray system () comprising such a stand (). The stand () comprises a stirrup bolt () which is rotatably mounted on a base frame () and which comprises a first limb () for supporting an X-ray emitter () and a second limb () for supporting an X-ray detector (), which is provided on its free end with a detector support (). The detector support () comprises a receiving element () which is adapted to captivate the X-ray detector () in a predetermined position and which can be swiveled in relation to the stirrup bolt () about a swivel axis () being parallel or tangential to the horizontal axis () and about a rotational axis () being perpendicular to the swivel axis () and a principal plane (E) of the receiving element ().

Stand for an X-ray system

The X-ray device comprises an X-ray source and a high-voltage generator for supplying the X-ray source with voltage, wherein the high-voltage generator has an intermediate circuit voltage generator and a high-voltage generator, the high-voltage generator is connected to the X-ray source, and the intermediate circuit voltage generator is connected to the high-voltage generator, wherein the intermediate circuit voltage generator and the high-voltage generator are structurally separate and the high-voltage generator is structurally positioned near the X-ray source, thereby keeping the high-voltage line to the X-ray source short.

X-ray device

A mount for an image receiver is provided. The mount includes at least two opposite edges that include a section with a curved contour. At least one of the sections of the mount is curved concavely. The concave curvature enables the use of a mount for x-ray lung radiographs or mammographs. The section may also be embodied as a concave-convex section.

Mount for image receiver

A system and method for X-ray diagnosis of an examination object is provided. The system includes a component that is movable relative to a stretcher for the examination object and at least one predeterminable set stop position for the component. A position ascertaining device is operative to ascertain a position of the component. A braking device is operative to brake the movable component. A control unit is connected to the position-ascertaining device and to the braking device. The braking device is activatable as a function of the position of the component relative to the stop position.

Method and system for X-ray diagnosis of an examination object

A height-adjustably mounted apparatus has a flexible supply line that is conducted to the apparatus from above and is provided with a weight compensation device so that the apparatus can be easily adjusted to different vertical positions. The weight compensation device includes a cable drum that accepts a first carrying cable which is loaded with the height-adjustably mounted apparatus and is subjected to a force directed opposite to the weight of the device and the weight compensation device includes a second carrying cable that is accepted on the cable drum and has an end secured to a supply line at a fastening location, so that the fastening location is lifted by the second carrying cable during vertical adjustment of the apparatus.
