Abstract
The invention relates to a method () for creating x-ray images as well as to an x-ray system. During the creation of an x-ray image, a slit diaphragm () is moved in front of an object () to be x-rayed, along a path extending between a radiation source () and said object (), in order for the object () to be scanned. X-rays emitted by the radiation source () are detected by a detector () upon penetration of the slit diaphragm () and the object () to be x-rayed. In order to create an x-ray image using a simplified slot scanning technique, the x-ray image is created without the need for a second slit diaphragm () between the object () to be x-rayed and the detector (), and only the radiation of which the intensity (), detected by the detector () during the scan, exceeds a predefined threshold value is processed.
