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).
