Abstract
A patient supporting table having a base member and a support plate adjustably carried on the base member. The support plate is provided with a cut-out through which the surface of a patient lying on the support plate is accessible for medical purposes. The base member comprises an opening the extent (b) of which is less than the extent (a) of the cut-out, so that the base member additionally supports a portion of a patient lying on the support plate in the region of the cut-out, particularly when the support plate is positioned relative to the base member such that the cut-out of the support plate leaves the opening of the base member free.
