Abstract
An x-ray diagnostics installation has a high-voltage generator for an x-ray tube for generating an x-ray beam, having a detector arranged in the x-ray beam for acquiring the x-ray dose, a control unit connected to the detector for the control of the high-voltage generator, and a solid-state image converter which also serves as the detector. The solid-state image converter has a semiconductor layer with light-sensitive pixel elements arranged in a matrix and an electrically non-conductive layer applied thereon, an electrode layer applied on the electrically non-conductive layer forming a capacitor with the pixel elements to which charge is supplied due to x-ray exposure and that is connected to the control unit for the acquisition of this charge corresponding to the x-ray dose.
