One or more example embodiments of the present invention relates to a method for fading-in a collimator field of an X-ray source in an examination area of an X-ray recording with an X-ray system, the method including first fading-in of a first collimator field with a first light field in a first color, and second fading-in of a second collimator field with a second light field in a second color, the second color being different from the first color.

Fading-in of a collimator field of an x-ray source in an examination area

A method is disclosed for adjusting a collimator of an X-ray source. In an embodiment, the method includes detecting an arrangement of an X-ray detector with respect to the X-ray source; automatically determining an adjustment for the collimator based on the detected position of the X-ray detector with respect to the X-ray source; and automatically adjusting the collimator based on the determined adjustment for the collimator. An X-ray device and computer readable medium are also disclosed.

Adjusting a collimator of an X-ray source

A method for positioning an emitter relative to a detector includes determining the position of the detector relative to the emitter, changing the position of the detector and measuring the change in position using a measuring device located in the detector. Data related to the change in position of the detector is then supplied to a device for positioning the emitter, and the position of the emitter is changed in accordance with the data. An image capture device is also provided.

Method and device for positioning an emitter

A first x-ray image is acquired at a predetermined position of a focal point and with a first orientation of an x-ray tube of an x-ray device. Subsequently, the x-ray tube is adjusted by rotating about a predetermined angle and by positioning, wherein the focal point is situated in the predetermined position prior to the adjustment and after the adjustment. After the adjustment, the x-ray tube is situated in a second orientation. Subsequently, a second x-ray image is acquired at the predetermined position and with the second orientation. A combined x-ray image from at least the first and second x-ray image is produced.

Method for imaging by means of an X-ray device and X-ray device

A device and to an associated method for a diagnostic apparatus. A housing unit can be aligned by way of a securing unit which is connected to the housing and it can be controlled in such a way that the diaphragm unit which is connected to the x-ray source and is arranged in the housing unit can be aligned in accordance with a specified position.

Device and method for a diagnostic device

A method controls an X-ray apparatus which contains a base station and at least one X-ray detector, wherein status information about the at least one X-ray detector is obtained. The status information is deposited in a database of the base station and the X-ray apparatus is controlled on the basis of the status information from the database.

Method for controlling an x-ray device and x-ray device

A medical system includes a plurality of movable elements, a first control element for controlling a first type of movement and at least one further control element for controlling a further type of movement. The first control element is assigned to a first number of movable elements for controlling the first type of movement and the further control elements are assigned to a further number of movable elements for controlling the further type of movement. The control elements each include an input unit having at least two selection elements for selecting the movable element to be controlled.

Medical system

A positioning device for a mobile x-ray detector, an x-ray device containing such a mobile positioning device, and a method mutually align a mobile x-ray detector and an x-ray emitter in relation to one another. In order to enable exact mutual alignment or positioning of the mobile x-ray detector in relation to the x-ray emitter, a positioning device is used for a mobile x-ray detector. The positioning device contains at least one marker and/or at least one sensor for determining the position and/or the orientation of the positioning device and contains a number of connection elements for establishing a mechanical connection between the positioning device and the mobile x-ray detector.

Positioning of a mobile x-ray detector

A device for the gesture-controlled setting of at least one setting variable on an X-ray source includes at least one recognition unit for anatomically recognizing a body part suitable for gesture control, at least one gesture detection unit for detecting at least one gesture of a body part recognized by the recognition unit, and at least one light source for displaying the at least one setting variable as feedback for a person making the gesture. The at least one setting variable was preset and/or set by using the at least one detected gesture. A method for the gesture-controlled setting of at least one setting variable on an X-ray source is also provided.

Device and method for the gesture-controlled setting of setting variables on an X-ray source

Setting information relating to mechanical settings of a digital x-ray imaging system, settings of a control variable or settings of an image processing system, as had been performed during the recording of the relevant digital x-ray image, are stored for a digital x-ray image. It is thereby made possible for an operator to read out the setting information and restore the x-ray image recording situation. The setting conditions can even be restored automatically. This also applies to at least the major part of the mechanical settings.

Digital x-ray imaging system and method for generating an image dataset for reproducibily generating x-ray images

There is described a radiography device for recording dynamic processes and an associated recording method. The radiography arrangement is used to examine patients using an x-ray source, a digital flat detector with a single shot recording function and an operating console for controlling and recording purposes, with the flat detector also being able to display an image sequence at a rate of up to 5 Hertz, which allows the positioning of the region to be examined or the monitoring of pseudo-interventional interventions.

Radiography device for recording dynamic processes and associated recording method

A device for recording projection images using high-energy radiation has a radiation source and a radiation detector. A radiation axis of the X-ray system can be freely established. A control device for the X-ray system enables the distance between the radiation source and radiation detector to be set with the aid of a control element set up for controlling a motion with one degree of freedom.

Device for recording projection images

The invention relates to a ceiling-mounted x-ray examination device comprising a patient-receiving table, an X-ray emitter, an X-ray receiver, a first adjusting device mountable on the ceiling for holding or displacing the X-ray emitter and preferably a second adjusting device mountable on the ceiling for holding and is placing the X-ray receiver and a travelling unit for displacing the patient-receiving table at least approximately transversally to the longitudinal direction thereof, wherein a travel path of the patient-receiving table is greater than the width thereof.
