A method for the compensation of image disturbances in the course of radiation image recording caused by defocusing of an antiscatter grid, arranged in the beam path between a beam source and a digital radiation image receiver and focused with respect to a specific distance from a focus of the beam source, the image disturbances being caused by a defocusing-dictated attenuation of primary radiation incident on the radiation image receiver, the digital radiation image receiver including radiation-sensitive pixels arranged in matrix form and a device for pixelwise amplification of the radiation-dependent signals, the method comprising:
- amplifying at least some of the signals supplied by the digital radiation image receiver in pixelwise fashion, in a manner dependent on an actual distance of the antiscatter grid from the focus.
