Abstract
At least one example embodiment provides a method for automatic positioning of an X-ray source of a medical X-ray system with a mobile X-ray detector. The method includes determining an examination region of the examination object, acquiring a position and a location of the examination object and the examination region by way of an optical position determining system, localizing the examination region, ascertaining a field point of the central ray of the X-ray source and a collimator size of the X-ray source based on the localized examination region, and automatic positioning of the X-ray source based on the field point and the collimator size.
