ABSTRACT:
To permit a compact and structurally simple design of a mammography appliance, an irradiation unit is secured on a C-arm, which lies in a swivel plane that is perpendicular to a horizontal axis. In this way, only slight mechanical leverages act on the support arm. At the same time, the C-arm design creates a free space, which is used in particular also for the arrangement of a display and/or control panel and for the arrangement of a biopsy unit.
