X-ray diagnostics installation for optional transillumination or exposure of an examination subject

摘要

An x-ray diagnostics installation includes an x-ray source, an x-ray image intensifier with a following video chain, a sheet film changer, and a support table for an examination subject. The sheet film changer is mounted on a carriage moveable beneath the patient support table. The x- ray source and the x-ray image intensifier are displaceable together along the support table, and the sheet film changer is positionable by means of the undercarriage in the beam path in front of the x-ray image intensifier, and is couplable thereto so that it follows the movements of the x-ray image intensifier along the support table on its carriage. The installation can thus be optionally used for transillumination or exposure of an examination subject on the table.
