Abstract
For quickly taking and evaluating X-ray pictures of an examination object imaged on a digital X-ray detector, the first step is for a partial imaging surface required for X-ray examination of the respective examination object to be automatically selected with reference to size and position from the entire imaging surface of the X-ray detector. After this, only the imaging data of the partial imaging surface that are compiled per examination are used as a basis for evaluation and/or display.
Claims17
A method involving an examination object irradiated by an X-ray beam and imaged onto an active imaging surface of a digital X-ray detector, the method comprising:
- automatically selecting a partial imaging surface required for an X-ray examination of the respective examination object, with reference to size and position;
- and
- using only the imaging data of the partial imaging surface that are compiled per examination, as a basis for at least one of subsequent evaluation and display.
An X-ray system, comprising:
- a digital X-ray detector including an active imaging surface for X-ray imaging of an examination object irradiated by an X-ray beam, a partial imaging surface of the active imaging surface for an X-ray examination of the respective examination object being selected automatically with reference to size and position, and imaging data, compiled per examination, of the partial imaging surface being used as a basis for at least one of subsequent evaluation and display.
An X-ray system, comprising:
- a digital X-ray detector including an active imaging surface for X-ray imaging of an examination object irradiated by an X-ray beam;
- means for automatically selecting a partial imaging surface required for an X-ray examination of the respective examination object, with reference to size and position;
- and
- means for using only the imaging data of the partial imaging surface that are compiled per examination, as a basis for at least one of subsequent evaluation and display.
