ABSTRACT:
A mammography apparatus has an examination arm with a radiation delivery head and an image receiver. The examination arm is mounted for iso-centric rotation in a plane. A support for the arm and a support column on which the support is mounted allow the height of this plane to be adjusted. Patients can be examined in the standing, leaning, sitting or laying position while in each case maintaining the axis of rotation of the examination arm on the axis of the (compressed) breast to be examined.
