Abstract
A radiography apparatus having an x-ray source, an x-ray imaging detector, and a support structure. The support structure is coupled to the x-ray source and to the x-ray detector and rotatable about two orthogonal axes and linearly moveable. The x-ray source and the x-ray imaging detector are each independently rotatable about third and fourth axes, respectively. The apparatus provides an operator with a number of degrees of freedom of motion of the x-ray source and the x-ray imaging detector to move them to different positions relative to a subject.
