Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment in order to obstruct the examination of the patient as little as possible and simultaneously render possible a rapid shift of the working position of the image detection apparatus from a horizontal position immediately beneath the patient support platform to a vertical position immediately above the patient support platform, the disclosure provides that the lifting carriage exhibits an essentially angled configuration and that the image detection apparatus is pivotally mounted on the free end of the horizontal leg of the lifting carriage, that the stand carriage, the lifting carriage (guided on the stand carriage) and the support-mounting (pivotally mounted on the lifting carriage) are arranged beneath the image detection apparatus, and that coupling elements (which are capable of being brought into engagement with the x-ray examination apparatus) are connected with the stand carriage. Moreover, the guidance of the lifting carriage on the stand carriage can proceed along a path which is inclined relative to the horizontal.
