Abstract
A patient couch for an X-ray diagnosis comprises a base portion to be fixed to a floor of an X-ray diagnosis room and a movable portion mounted to the base portion to be movable with respect to the base portion and having a table top on which a patient lies. A tilting mechanism is secured to the base portion for vertically tilting the movable portion with respect to the base portion. The base portion and the tilting mechanism each has a width, in a width direction of the table top, smaller than a width of the table top and disposed below the movable portion along a longitudinal direction of the table top at a portion apart from a central axis thereof in the longitudinal direction so as to provide a space between a substantial portion of the movable portion and the floor. The tilting mechanism is tilted about a central axis, which is positioned below a horizontal level of the table top, by an angle more than 85.degree. at which the table top on which a patient lies takes a vertically standing attitude without being obstructed by the location of the base portion.
