Abstract
A driving and positioning arrangement for radiography includes a patient support which can be driven, in a direction longitudinally of the patient, through an aperture in a housing which contains the active elements of a computerised tomographic apparatus. A scale member comprises a part which is supported by the housing and a part which is supported by the patient support. Once the patient is correctly positioned for examination, one of the parts of the scale member is moved relative to its respective support so that the two parts can be caused to assume a selected relative position.
