Claim 0:
1. A patient-positioning device, comprising:
a first link configured as a base frame, and configured for fastening the patient-positioning device on a support surface;
a second link mounted on the first link by a first joint so as to be rotatable about a first axis of rotation;
a third link mounted on the second link by a second joint so as to be rotatable about a second axis of rotation;
the second link having an angled or arcuate shape such that the first and second axes are parallel and spaced from one another;
the third link having an angled or arcuate shape such that the second and third axes are perpendicular to one another;
wherein the third link is arranged on the second link by the second joint in such a way that, with a floor mounting of the first link, the third link is arranged below the second link by the second joint in order to suspend the third link from the second link in an overhead arrangement of the second joint, whereby the third link is rotatably mounted by the second joint below the second link;
a fourth link mounted on the third link by a third joint so as to be rotatable about a third axis of rotation;
a fifth link mounted on the fourth link by a fourth joint so as to be rotatable about a fourth axis of rotation;
a sixth link mounted on the fifth link by a fifth joint so as to be rotatable about a fifth axis of rotation; and
a seventh link mounted on the sixth link by a sixth joint so as to be rotatable about a sixth axis of rotation;
wherein the seventh link comprises a mounting flange on which a patient table of the patient-positioning device is arranged;
whereby the arrangement of the second and third links facilitates positioning the patient table on the seventh link close to the floor to provide a low access height.
