A medical X-ray system and a method perform radiological examinations of patients. In order to allow particularly efficient operation of the medial X-ray device, a data processing system of the X-ray system processes data processing processes in parallel and has multiple user interfaces that are used to provide a data input and/or data output option for respective different data processing processes at the same time.

Parallel use of a medical X-ray device

A method operates an image system of a medical imaging modality in which a patient data record of a patient is processed. A workflow for an examination is selected from a set of workflows on the basis of an examination specification of the patient data record. Wherein each workflow contains comprises a selection from a set of functions which are carried out in a specific temporal sequence.

Method for operating an image system of a medical imaging modality and medical imaging modality

A radiography device and a radiography method are specifically adapted for examinations in the field of pediatric radiology. The radiography device examines a diagnosis-relevant region of a patient. The device has a radiation source, which emits radiological rays in an irradiation direction. An irradiation surface is selectable in dependence of a specified examination region of the patient. The radiography device also has a measurement field. The size of the measurement field is changeable such that the size of the measurement field and the size of the irradiation surface correlate.

Radiography device and method for examinations in the field of pediatric radiology

A method is for the compensation of image disturbances in the course of a radiation image recording caused by a 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 the focus of the beam source. Such image disturbances are caused by a defocusing-dictated attenuation of the primary radiation incident on the radiation image receiver. A solid-state image detector includes radiation-sensitive pixels arranged in matrix form and a device for pixelwise amplification of the radiation-dependent signals. In the method, at least some of the signals supplied in pixelwise fashion are amplified by an amplifying device in a manner dependent on the actual distance of the antiscatter grid from the focus.
