Abstract
A method and system are provided for the automatic positioning of a recording system with an x-ray detector and an x-ray source with respect to a subarea of an examination object. A x-ray source to examination object distance is calculated from a displacement distance, the relative pixel distance and the known x-ray source to x-ray detector distance. The x-ray source to examination object distance is used for automatic positioning of the recording system.
