ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a device for displaying X-ray images of an object, preferably in connection with surgical orthopaedic operations, wherein X-ray images of the object are generated by means of at least a first and a second X-ray device (19, 20). The first X-ray device (1)=is provided to X-ray the object in a first plane (P1) and the X-ray images obtained thereby are displaced on a first screen (28) and the second X-ray device (20) is provided to X-ray the object in a second plane (P2) and the X-ray images obtained thereby are displayed on a second screen (30). An automatic image changing device (AC) includes an image alternator (54) which is provided to automatically change the display of moving images of the object taken in one plane (P1) on the first screen (28) to display of moving images of the object taken in the other plane (P2) on the second screen (30) and vice versa, such that it becomes possible to see moving X-ray images of the object taken in the two different planes (P1and P2) close behind each other. Each receiver (22and24respectively) in each X-ray device (19and20respectively) is linearly displaceable relative to the associated transmitter (21and23respectively) and/or each transmitter (21and23respectively) is linearly displaceable relative to each receiver (22and24respectively) for varying the distance between each receiver (22and24respectively) and transmitter (21and23respectively).
