ABSTRACT:
A patient's support installation for a transverse axial scanning or tomographic X-ray apparatus utilized for producing tomographic X-ray images, in particular of the skull as a laminagraphic object; consisting of a base or pedestal portion having a frame and a horizontally displaceable table plate which is supported on the latter; a holding arrangement encompassing the laminagraphic object on all sides thereof, fastened to the head end of the table plate, which possesses an aperture into which there is introducible the laminagraphic object to a desired depth; as well as means for fixing the skull in the desired position; and an X-ray transmitter or generator for generating an X-ray beam transilluminating the holding arrangement together with the laminagraphic object at the elevation of the laminagraphic plane, and for scanning the laminagraphic object from different directions in the laminagraphic plane; as well as including an X-ray measuring arrangement which is operatively connected with the X-ray generator and located behind the laminagraphic object in the direction of the beam. The foregoing is inventively attained, in a support installation of the above-mentioned type, by providing a transport web slidingly located on the table plate or pallette so as to be in the longitudinal direction thereof, as the patient support for introduction of the laminagraphic object into the holding arrangement, as well as an adjusting arrangement consisting of a drive means for effecting the displacement of the table plate and the holding arrangement which is coupled therewith with respect to the X-ray beam along the longitudinal direction of the table by specifiable amounts, and finally including an indicating means for the determination of these amounts.
