Abstract

The invention relates to a patient positioning device (1, 6, 28, 35) for an x-ray imaging apparatus (23), comprising an x-ray-transparent patient positioning board (5) for positioning a patient (21) in a longitudinal direction (8), and at least one carrier device (3) at least partially supporting the patient positioning board (5). The patient positioning board (5) is subdivided into at least two partial boards (4), wherein each partial board (4) is mounted on a carrier device (3) assigned to the partial board (4). Each carrier device (3) has at least one pivot joint for pivoting the partial boards (4) about a transverse axis (20) which extents horizontally perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction (8).
