With a screen-filter-mirror unit installed in a sandwich architecture, an x-ray window on a patient or an object can also be visualized during an x-ray recording with a light window. It is advantageous that a screen, a filter and a light window unit are combined in just one unit and with a changing x-ray window only the unit is replaced and/or the attack angle of the unit and the alignment of a light source directed hereto can be attuned to one another.

Apparatus for an x-ray device

Medical imaging system

In a compression unit of a mammography apparatus, a breast is compressed between a first compression plane and a second compression plane. At least one of the first and second compression planes is formed by a fabric. The compression unit allows a breast to be maintained in a fixed, compressed state while acquiring an x-ray image of the compressed breast and the compressed state is maintained for subsequently acquiring an ultrasound image of the compressed breast.
