ABSTRACT:
A medical diagnostic and/or therapy apparatus in the form of an X-ray apparatus, including a stand (2), a C-arm (4) and a patient table top (8) which is attached to the stand by way of a supporting arm (6). In order to enable the patient table top to be cleared very quickly from the C-arm (i.e. make it accessible from all sides), notably in trauma situations, the supporting arm of the patient table is rotatable about a vertical axis (22) with respect to the stand. The pivot (25) of the supporting arm is situated at the location of attachment of the supporting arm to the stand, so that when it is swung away, the table requires substantially less space in its longitudinal direction than in the prior art. Moreover, room then remains for an additional treatment apparatus in the treatment space, for example for a tomography arc (26) which can then be positioned around the swung away table top within a few seconds in the case of emergency.
