Abstract
The invention relates to a mammography device, having a frame column (3) comprising a slide (2) mounted vertically (Z) slidingly onto bearings, into the horizontal axis of which the photography head (1) is pivotally mounted onto bearings. According to the invention, the control device (10), the photography head (1) being tilted, guides the hoisting mechanism (M1) of the slide (2) according to a preset program and to the observed angle of inclination (.OMEGA.) in such a way that the center point of the support plate (6) in the photography head is at essentially the same height above the support (20) at the end of the tilting movement.
