Abstract
An apparatus for movably suspending an x-ray grid. The apparatus has a carrier module, in or on which the x-ray grid is arranged, and a linkage. The linkage is configured to rotate the carrier module about an axis which is vertical to the x-ray grid and/or to translate the carrier module in the plane of the x-ray grid. An x-ray arrangement has an x-ray emitter, an x-ray detector and one or more apparatus for suspending the x-ray grid between the emitter and detector. The apparatus provides for play-free kinematics which is more cost-effective than the use of known precision drives.
