Abstract
A device for suspending an x-ray grid has a first rotating frame which can be rotated about a first axis. The x-ray grid is disposed in or on the rotating frame. Two first flexible hinge elements are connected to the first rotating frame and are aligned along the first axis. The first rotating frame is reversibly rotatable about the first axis. An x-ray arrangement has one or more such suspension devices between an x-ray emitter and an x-ray detector. The articulated flexible elements of the novel device are completely play-free and significantly more cost-effective that separate hinges.
