X-ray examination apparatus and filter suitable for use therein.

摘要

By using an X-ray filter filled with a liquid, having a flexible wall between the X-ray source and the detector in an X-ray examination apparatus, spatial brightness variations in an X-ray image caused by vignetting, can be obviated. The filter thickness is adjustable by the supply and the discharge of a liquid, the filter preserving a quadratic thickness variation from the centre to the edges. <IMAGE>
