ABSTRACT:
Current C-arm examination devices are not capable of performing 360 degrees rotations. The reason for this is that the cabling which connects the external cabinets to the detector, collimator and x-ray tube does not allow for such a rotation. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an examination apparatus is provided which has a connection device connecting the external cabinets to the C-arm which is adapted for enabling a rotation of the C-arm of more than 360 degrees. Such a connection device may comprise a storing device for winding up the cable.
