Abstract

An X-ray facility has at least one x-ray emitter, an x-ray detector and an isocenter arranged along a central beam path between the x-ray emitter and the x-ray detector. The x-ray emitter and the x-ray detector are arranged on separate support arms. At least one rotary device is provided on each support arm, by way of which the x-ray emitter or the x-ray detector can be rotated about an axis of rotation intersecting the isocenter and not corresponding to the central beam. Wherein the axes of rotation match rotary devices assigned to one another on different support arms.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An x-ray facility, comprising:
at least an x-ray emitter;
an x-ray detector and an isocenter disposed along a central beam path between said x-ray emitter and said x-ray detector;
support arms, each of said x-ray emitter and said x-ray detector disposed on separate ones of said support arms; and
rotary devices, at least one of said rotary devices disposed on each of said support arms, by way of said rotary devices said x-ray emitter and said x-ra…
