ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns an X-ray examination device (10) comprising an X-ray source (20), an X-ray detector (18) and a segmented carrier, where the X-ray source and the X-ray detector are rotatable together around an isocentre (32). The segmented carrier includes a main arm (12) on which the X-ray source and X-ray detector are mounted and at least one first auxiliary arm (22) to which the main arm is mounted. The first auxiliary arm is rotatable around a first rotational axis (30) through the isocentre. The present invention provides an improved X-ray examination device that allows the provision of a greater freedom of selection of inspection angles regarding a patient
