Patent ID: 10993685

Abstract:
The invention concerns a device (102) for X-ray imaging, comprising a device mount (104) and an arm (106) movably connected to said device mount for rotation, relative to said device mount, around a device axis of rotation (108). The device (102) furthermore comprises an X-ray source (110) for emitting an X-ray beam (111) and an X-ray detector (112). In addition the system (102) comprises a carrier (114) having a U-arm geometry, wherein said U-arm geometry is provided with mutually facing portions (116, 118) and an intermediate portion (120) connecting said mutually facing portions (116, 118); wherein said mutually facing portions (116, 118) are configured for carrying said X-ray source (110) and said X-ray detector (112), respectively; and wherein said intermediate portion is movably connected to the arm (106) for rotation, relative to said arm (106), around a carrier axis of rotation (122) substantially perpendicular to the device axis of rotation (108).
