1. An imaging support arrangement for generating an X-ray image, comprising:
a support structure configured to hold an image detector at a first end and an X-ray source at a second end, with a connection line in between, wherein the support structure is connected to a primary supporting beam in a first pivotable connection point with a first connector,
the primary supporting beam connected to a secondary supporting beam in a second pivotable connection point with a second connector,
the secondary supporting beam connected to a mounting arrangement in a third pivotable connection point with a third connector,
wherein the support structure, the primary supporting beam, the secondary supporting beam, and the mounting arrangement are mechanically coupled in a rotational manner around the first pivotable connection point, the second pivotable connection point, and third pivotable connection point such that a rhombus shape is defined by connection lines comprising:
i) a connection line between the first pivotable connection point and the second pivotable connection point,
ii) a connection line between the second pivotable connection point and the third pivotable connection point,
iii) a connection line between the third pivotable connection point and an Iso-centre located on the connection line in between the first end and the second end of the support structure, and
iv) a connection line between the Iso-centre and the first pivotable connection point,
wherein the connection lines remain in the rhombus shape during a movement of the imaging support arrangement around the Iso-centre in an Iso-centred angulation rotation, and
wherein the third connector is movably supported by an additional C-shape suspension.
