A method for the determination of the delay time of a radiographic generator and to the setting of a standard value for such delay time. According to the method it is determined by a series of decreasing chosen values for the delay time whether a signal for the confirmation of the start of the radiographic exposure is rendered by the radiographic generator. The last value of the chosen delay time whereby still such a confirmation signal is rendered, is retained as standard operational value for the delay time of the radiographic system.

Method for the determination and use of a standard operational value for the delay time of a radiographic system

A first time stamp Tindicative of the time of irradiation of an object and a second time stamp Tindicative of the time of exposure of an image detector by the radiation image of the object, are generated. Meta-data relating to the object are associated with the radiation image of the object if Tequals Tor if Tapproximates Twithin a predefined limit.
