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.

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.

The invention relates to a method for the compression of data comprising values to be coded, in particular grey values or prediction errors using a run-length coding. A bit sequence of a bit plane which represents at least one item of partial information of at least one value to be coded is thereby coded coherently. This method is particularly used in connection with medical image data.

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.
