Abstract
An x-ray examination installation permits a transillumination image, or an x-ray exposure of an examination subject to be optionally undertaken. The installation includes a C-bend adjustable in position relative to an examination subject, with an x-radiator and a x-ray image intensifier being respectively melted at opposite free ends of the C-bend. The x-ray image intensifier is used for transillumination of the subject, and an exposure device such a sheet film changer, is positionable opposite the x-ray source for producing an exposure. The exposure device is held spatially freely adjustable relative to the C-bend by a carrying device. The exposure device is connectable to the C-bend with a releasable coupling mechanism so that the exposure device follows movements of the C-bend without changing its position relative to the x-radiator.
