X-Ray diagnostic arrangements with several radiological exposure systems

Claim 1

An X-ray diagnostic arrangement comprising in combination at least two radiological exposure systems with each system including a separate X-ray tube; a common power supply for said exposure systems; a common control panel having control means for each of said exposure systems; a manually operated switch unit for connecting a selected one of said exposure systems to said power supply and said control means; said control means having selector means for selecting a desired programmed setting of an exposure value for one of the exposure systems and including a plurality of organ keys with each organ key actuating at least two switch means with each switch means controlling a desired exposure value, a program selector with switching positions and being connected to all of the switch means so that one exposure value combination is selected for each of the organ keys in each switching position of the program selector; and a display panel on said control panel adjacent to said organ keys of said selector means, said display panel being joined in book form and turnable as leaves of a book, each panel bearing an organ part associated with each of the organ keys so that when turning to a desired display panel, the body organ parts associated with the respective organ keys of the selector means are all displayed in a column adjacent the organ keys; and means for operatively connecting said program selector with said display panels so that when a selected display panel is turned, the respective switching position of the program selector occurs automatically and each of the organ keys will produce the desired exposure value for the organ display on the panel for the respective key.
