Method and device for automatic testing of an x-ray system

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for automatic testing of an X-ray system ( 2 ). The doors ( 5 a, 5 b) leading to the room ( 1 ) in which the X-ray system ( 2 ) is installed are monitored by way of sensors ( 4 a, 4 b). Furthermore, the state of the room ( 1 ) can be monitored by means of further sensors such as video cameras ( 3 ). Automatic testing of the X-ray system ( 2 ) while utilizing X-rays is started only if and for as long as all doors are closed and the other sensors do not indicate that a safe state is abandoned. The device may also include facilities for automatically positioning a phantom in the beam path. Such facilities may in that case include a phantom which is provided on a flexible foil.
