APPARATUS FOR POSITIONING STANDING PERSONS TO PRODUCE X-RAY SHOTS

摘要

An apparatus (1) for positioning standing persons (2) to produce X-ray shots
comprises a movable frame (3) on which a vertically displaceable standing area
(4) is arranged. The standing area has a holding apparatus (5) connected to it
which the person can hold onto. To produce optimum positioning in terms of
weight too, the standing area has a weighing apparatus arranged on it for
determining the weight of the person, preferably using two independent
weighing sensors (6) for each foot of the person. A description is also given
of an apparatus and a method for producing a digital X-ray image, where
exposure parameters are calculated on the basis of person-related data and
then a plurality of shots are taken sequentially and are subsequently used to
compile an overall image.
