ABSTRACT:
For the purpose of providing a method of keeping an iso-center at a fixed position regardless of the tilt of a table top, and a table system having such a function, an apparatus comprises a table top member; lifting means for moving the table top member up and down; forwarding/backing means for longitudinally moving the table top member forward and backward; tilting means for tilting the table top member from a horizontal state; and control means, and the table top member is tilted around an iso-center lying at a spatial position different from a mechanical center of tilt motion of the table top member by the control means controlling vertical displacement of the mechanical center and longitudinal displacement of the table top member according to a tilt angle.
