Claim:
A urological workstation comprising: a patient positioning table configured to receive a patient thereon in a position allowing physician-access to anatomy of the patient for a urological procedure, said patient positioning table having a longitudinal axis; an x-ray imaging system comprising an x-ray source and an x-ray receiver that generates an x-ray image of said patient in said position on said patient positioning table for said urological procedure; and a device carrier having respective device retainers at which said x-ray source and said x-ray receiver are mounted opposite each other with said patient table and the patient thereon between said x-ray source and said x-ray receiver, said device carrier being located at a longitudinal side of said patient positioning table and allowing said x-ray source and said x-ray receiver to be positioned opposite each other, on opposite sides of said patient positioning table, independently of each other in a plurality of positions during said urological procedure along an orbit that proceeds around a common center between said x-ray source and said x-ray receiver in a working plane that is perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, while said device carrier is entirely spaced from and does not intersect said working plane.
