Abstract
A patient support apparatus comprises a first support plate which can be transferred from an undercarriage onto a table frame of the medical apparatus. The table frame is provided with a second support plate which receives the first support plate directly, but enables an examination subject to be directly received on the second support plate without requiring the assembly of the first support plate.
