X-ray diagnostics installation for producing x-ray exposures of body parts of a patient

An x-ray diagnostics installation for producing x-ray exposures of a body part, having a length and width, of a patient, said x-ray diagnostics installation comprising:

• a line detector camera and a radiation source disposed diametrically opposite said line detector camera, and adapted to have said body part disposed between said radiation source and said line detector camera, said radiation source having a radiation diaphragm and emitting a fan beam of x-rays limited by said radiation diaphragm;
• said line detector camera having a slot shaped opening for admitting x-rays from said radiation source, and containing an x-ray detector disposed behind said slot-shaped opening, said x-ray detector having a width matched to at least one of the width and the length of said body part;
• means for producing a panorama tomogram of said body part of said patient;
• means for producing a skull exposure of said patient;
• and
• adjustment means, to which said radiation source and said line detector camera are mounted, for adjusting said line detector camera relative to said body part for moving said slot opening along said body part and for moving said fan beam from said radiation source synchronously with said line detector camera, said adjustment means including a stand having a height-adjustable carrier part, a rotary unit mounted on said stand carrying said radiation source and a first means for positioning and holding the head of said patient, a boom carrying a second means for holding and positioning said head, first and second holders for said line detector camera, said first and second holders being structurally identical, said first holder being disposed on said rotary unit, relative to said first means for holding and positioning said head, for orienting said line detector camera with said slot-shaped opening vertically oriented from moving said line detector camera around said head in common with said radiation source to produce said panorama tomogram, and said second holder being disposed for holding said line detector camera with said slot-shaped opening horizontally oriented for moving the line detector camera in a vertical plane relative to said radiation source to produce said skull exposure.
