Abstract
A radiological imaging method including 2 radiation sources with imaging directions orthogonal to each other, performing vertical scanning of a standing patient along a vertical scanning direction, wherein radiological method includes at least one operating mode in which: a frontal scout view is made so as to identify a specific bone(s) localization within the frontal scout view, driving current intensity modulation of the frontal radiation source, depending on patient thickness and on the identified specific bone(s) localization along the vertical scanning direction, is performed automatically, so as to improve a compromise between: lowering the global radiation dose received by a patient during the vertical scanning, while keeping at a sufficient level the local image contrasts of the identified specific bone(s) localization at different imaging positions along the vertical scanning direction, for the frontal image.
