Abstract

The invention relates to a bearing surface for a medical examining-table for carrying out roentgenolic examinations and surgical interventions during which radiological devices are used, comprising a table-top (16) and a guide unit (18) which can be coupled to a supporting column (14) of the examining table. Said guide unit has a first guide housing (20), in which the table-top (16) is guided to that it can be displaced in the longitudinal direction. The table-top consists entirely of X-ray permeable material and has guide surfaces (42,44), which lie against guide elements (38,40) in the guide housing (22).
