Embodiment Construction

[0030] 1 to 3 respectively show a side view, a front view and a top view of an X-ray apparatus 1 comprising a bracket 3 and an X-ray unit 5 . When the x-ray unit 5 is in the working position, the x-ray unit 5 is situated obliquely to the side of the support 3 . The X-ray unit 5 comprises an X-ray source 7 emitting X-rays 11 and an X-ray detector 9 recording the X-rays 11 . The X-ray source 7 and the X-ray detector 9 are mounted on a support arm 13 .

[0031] If the x-ray machine 1 is designed for mammography as shown here, a compression plate 15 is located in the path of the x-rays 11 , with which the breast to be examined can be compressed.

[0032] As in known mammography machines, the x-ray unit 5 can be reached from the front direction 17 . The front direction 17 here corresponds substantially to the viewing direction through the radiation path of the x-rays 11 towards the support arm 13 . This direction is also the direction in which the patient usually enters the x-ra...

Abstract

An x-ray apparatus has an x-ray unit that is arranged on a stand and has a support arm on which an x-ray source and an x-ray detector are arranged. The x-ray unit can be positioned in at least one operating position at an angle laterally next to the stand, such that an access to the x-ray unit is possible from a front direction that corresponds to the viewing direction towards the support arm through an x-ray path, and from a rear direction opposite thereto, and from two further lateral directions that are orthogonal to the front direction and the rear direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an X-ray apparatus, in particular for mammography. Background technique [0002] X-ray machines, used in particular in medical imaging, have an x-ray source and an x-ray detector. X-rays are emitted from the X-ray source and are transmitted to the X-ray detector through the inspection object. X-rays are scattered and absorbed as they pass through the subject, so that the rays recorded by the X-ray detector create an image inside the subject. [0003] A number of requirements are placed on x-ray machines, in particular such x-ray machines for recording relatively small body parts, such as the chest or limbs. [0004] On the one hand, the x-ray source and the x-ray detector should be positioned as freely as possible. During mammography, it is advantageous, for example, to not only X-ray the breast in a horizontal position, but also to examine the breast in an oblique or vertical hanging position. Mammography with biopsy, for ...
