ABSTRACT:
A slice level display for x-ray systems has a projector arranged next to a patient-support plate which emits light beam directed onto a patient on the support plate, projector being coupled to a drive system in order to displace an x-ray radiator and an exposure cassette, seated under the patient-support plate, oppositely around the light beam axis as a pivot point of their connecting line. The x-ray radiator and the exposure cassette are displaceable via separate drives that are coupled with a control unit having a position sensor associated therewith. The position sensor supplies height position signals of the projector to the control unit which are used to calculate control signals for operating the respective drives for displacing the x-ray radiator and the cassette. The projector and a displacement mechanism therefor and the height position sensor are detachably securable to the patient-support plate as a structural unit.
