ABSTRACT:
An exemplary embodiment comprises a support pivotal about a shaft which, on one side of the shaft, is provided with an x-ray tube, and on the other side, is provided with an arrangement for the adjustment of an image recording carrier along the support. In order to produce an x-ray examination apparatus in which, in the case of a tomography examination, the central x-ray always strikes the film center, independently of the subject-to-film-distance, it is provided in accordance with the disclosure that the arrangement is comprised to two toothed racks running parallel to the longitudinal direction of the support, into which, in the shaft region, two rigidly interconnected gear wheels, or gear wheel segments, engage, which are selectively arrestable relative to different parts of the apparatus, and into which, in the region of the image recording carrier, two intermeshed gear wheels engage with which the image recording carrier is at least indirectly connected, as well as comprising a motor for the displacement of the gear wheels along the toothed racks.
