Zusammenfassung:An X-ray apparatus is provided. The X-ray apparatus includes a C-arm mounted on a robotic arm that is operable to be rotated about an axis of rotation. A radiation source and a radiation detector are arranged on the C-arm. The distance between the radiation source and radiation detector may be varied by a lifting device. The radiation source may be moved longitudinally relative to the radiation detector, or vice versa. The C-arm may include two arm sections that can be moved relative to one another by a lifting device. The radiation source is arranged on the one arm section and the radiation receiver is arranged on the other arm section.
