Abstract
An x-ray diagnostics installation for producing x-ray exposures of body parts of a patient has a line detector camera arranged diametrically opposite a radiation source, the line detector camera containing an x-ray detector arranged behind a slot-shaped opening, the width of the x-ray detector being matched to the width or length of the body part to be registered. An adjustment system adjusts the line detector camera relative to the body part such that the slot opening is moved along the body part, whereby the fan beam limited by the radiation diaphragm of the radiation source is moved synchronously relative to the camera motion. The line detector camera can be horizontally or vertically arranged.
