An X-ray system has a patient examination table, an image acquisition unit under the surface of the patient examination table, and an X-ray radiator that can be positioned above the patient examination table, On the patient examination table a radiation protection device is disposed, which—during the operation—shields at least one zone on one side of the patient examination table from the radiation area between the X-ray radiator and the image acquisition unit. In addition, on the patient examination table an X-ray system operation unit is disposed that is accessible from the shielded zone.
