ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a device5for aiming an object1in an X-ray imaging apparatus3provided with a radiographic imaging detector4, a radiation source13, and transfer means for moving e.g. the radiation source into different points along a predetermined path P. Said device comprises at least one laser6emitting visible light, and e.g. at least two light guides having first ends and second ends, said first ends connected to said laser for receiving said visible light. Each of said second ends8a,8b,8cprovides a light beam, and these light beams7a,7b,7care directed towards said imaging detector with an angle of convergence K. The light beams are adjusted to intersect in a predetermined focus FLpoint, which is visible and indicates the proper position of the target2inside the object.
