Abstract
For taking X-ray photographs there is provided a moveable tower structure for ceiling-mounted frame which carries a beam source arranged for movement in X-Y-Z directions and which is rotatable about a horizontal axis. A receptor unit is mounted beneath a patient support table for movement in the X direction and Y direction. Activation of a holder associated with the receptor unit and intended to receive a vertically extending secondary receptor for horizontal beam path causes the beam source to move automatically to a basic setting.
