Abstract
One or more example embodiments of the present invention relates to a tilt module for a patient couch, having a first support unit, a second support unit and a linear drive system, wherein one of the first support unit and the second support unit is configured to fix the tilt module to a stand of the patient couch or to receive a couch board, wherein the second support unit is connected via a joint to the first support unit at a tilt angle, wherein the linear drive system couples the first support unit and the second support unit such that the second support unit is tiltable relative to the first support unit along a circular-like travel path with simultaneous variation of the tilt angle due to a change in length of the linear drive system.
