Abstract
A method and apparatus for positioning a patient with respect to an X-ray installation. An X-ray image is produced at the beginning of the operation and stored in an image memory. The memory is read in order to visualize the X-ray image on a television receiver. The table is displaced to a desired position, and the image in the receiver is decentered so as to reproduce the image that would be observed if an X-ray were taken at the desired position.
