An examination table for supporting a patient in a medical examination apparatus has a positioning plate and a floor stand, the positioning plate being adjustable in height and able to be tilted. The examination table is very simple and space-saving in construction, but still allows a tilting of the positioning plate into a vertical position, by virtue of the floor stand having a curved girder which has a base end at the floor fastened rotatably about a horizontal shaft, and the positioning plate is provided with a mount that is movably attached to the girder so that the mount with the positioning plate can be moved along the longitudinal direction of the girder.
