Abstract
A method and device for operating an x-ray device including an x-ray emitter and an x-ray detector are provided. An alternating magnetic field is produced and emitted at the x-ray emitter. At least two sensors are included for capturing at least one physical variable correlating with the alternating magnetic field. An alignment of the x-ray detector relative to the x-ray emitter is determined based on the measurement.
