Abstract

An X-ray device for carrying out X-ray scans is configured for a simplified procedure. The X-ray device has an image receptor which operates in conjunction with an X-ray generator to carry out X-ray scans of a patient, and a patient table. A tabletop of the patient table which is used to position the patient during the X-ray scans, is immovable in the table plane. Instead, the image receptor is disposed in a longitudinally and transversely movable manner relative to the tabletop parallel to the table plane.
