Abstract
An X-ray examination device for mounting at a ceiling of an examination room has a support mechanism for a patient to be examined, a first adjustment device attachable to the ceiling for holding and moving an X-ray radiator, and a second adjustment device attachable to the ceiling for holding and moving a radiation receiver. The adjustment devices are arranged and fashioned such that the X-ray radiator as well as the radiation receiver can be brought from one side with respect to the middle longitudinal axis of the support mechanism onto the opposite side. The adjustment devices each have guide rails at which transverse carriers are movable. The X-ray examination device allows an especially large number of examination techniques and transillumination perspectives.
