Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, a patient can be transferred from a transport carrier onto a table support. Couplings are provided for the connection of the patient positioning table to the transport carrier or to the table support. By means of the invention, a reliable locking of the patient positioning table onto the transport carrier or onto the table support which is independent of human error is to be guaranteed. The locking is to render a rotation of the patient positioning table of 360.degree. around a horizontal axis possible. To this end, the invention provides that each of the couplings contains at least two latches that are rotatable into respective latching positions, of which the one latch which in its latching position couples the patient positioning table to the transport carrier can be pressed out of its latching position by means of the table support and the other latch which in its latching position couples the patient positioning table to the table support can be pressed out of its latching position by means of the transport carrier.
