Abstract
A support column holds an X-ray tube having a collimator and is held by a linear guide on a side of a main frame and moved in the longitudinal direction of a table top board by a motor via a gear and a rack. An image receiving system to hold an image intensifier is supported by a linear guide on a side of the main frame and moved in the longitudinal direction of the table top board by a drive mechanism independently from the support column. The table top board can be moved to a position close to the support column on an upper portion of the main frame. When the support column is moved in the longitudinal direction, it is possible for an operator to approach a subject person from an back side portion of the table top board while the operator is being kept in an easy body orientation.

An apparatus for X-ray fluoroscopy and radiography comprising:
- a table top board;
- a support column for holding an X-ray tube above said table top board;
- an image receiving system for holding an image receiving device and being placed on a bottom of said table top board;
- a main frame for holding said support column and said image receiving system so that said support column and said image receiving system can be moved in a longitudinal direction of said table top board, said main frame having a top side, a first lateral side, and a second, opposite lateral side,
- wherein said support column is movably secured to the first lateral side of said main frame and said image receiving system is movably secured to the second lateral side of said main frame.
An apparatus for X-ray fluoroscopy and radiography comprising:
- a table top board;
- a support column for holding an X-ray tube above said table top board;
- an image receiving system for holding an image receiving device and being placed on a back of said table top board;
- a main frame for holding said support column and said image receiving system so that said support column and said image receiving system can be moved in a longitudinal direction of said table top board,
- wherein said support column is mechanically held on a side of said main frame which is opposite to a side on which said image receiving system is held, and,
- wherein said support column and said image receiving system are mechanically independently held and moved on both sides of said main frame.
