Abstract

An x-ray apparatus is configured with a C-arm frame. At one end of the C-arm frame an x-ray source is arranged and at the other end of which a detector for recording radiation emitted by the x-ray source is arranged. A voltage generator is provided for supplying a voltage to the x-ray source. At least one component of the voltage generator and the x-ray source are arranged separately from one another. The at least one component of the voltage generator is positioned at the same end of the C-arm frame at which the detector is arranged, as a result of which a weight equalization can be implemented in a simpler manner.
