Abstract
X-ray apparatus has a rotor on a standard, the rotor including two rings, one fixed on the rotor and the other rotating on an axis normal to the rotor axis. Posts on the rotating ring parallel to its axis carry an X-ray tube and an X-ray receptor on a radiation axis intersecting the ring axis at an isocenter and capable of angulation about the isocenter. A patient table is slidingly mounted on the fixed rotor ring extending through apertures in both rings. Turning of the rotor tilts the patient table in a head to foot direction while turning of the rotating ring revolves the patient on his own axis.
