摘要

To pass from an anteroposterior examination to a lateral examination with an osteodensimeter, the arch (8) supporting the X-ray tube (4) and the radiation detector (7) of this apparatus is displaced laterally (15). At the limit (20) of this displacement, the assembly is allowed to tilt (29). At the limit of this tilting, the transverse translation is reversed (16). Before carrying out the lateral examination, the bed (3) on which the patient to be examined is lying is raised. It has been shown that these kinematics make it possible to keep fixed the spacing, set upon instruction, between the X-ray tube and the detector. …IMAGE…
