Abstract
An x-ray radiator has a radiator housing from which x-ray radiation originating from a focus is emitted. A pre-diaphragm is disposed in the beam path of the x-ray radiation and has a diaphragm opening in or on the radiator housing. The pre-diaphragm is provided with at least one additional slit through which x-ray radiation can strike on at least one element for determination of the position of the focus. This element is sensitive to x-ray radiation. An x-ray device has such an x-ray radiator and a computed tomography apparatus has such an x-ray device.
