Abstract
An x-ray diagnostics apparatus has a height-adjustable patient support plate vertically mounted on a pedestal, and an x-ray image intensifier adjustably mounted beneath the support plate at the pedestal. The x-ray image intensifier is mounted so as to be adjustable in position between an exposure position and a standby position. In the standby position, the image intensifier does not interfere with lowering of the support plate, which can thus be lowered to a position to more easily accommodate placement of a patient on the support plate. The x-ray image intensifier can be horizontally aligned in the standby position, or can be located outside the region of the support plate.
