摘要 |
The invention relates to a mounting device for mounting a beam manipulating device of an X-ray apparatus to a radiation source of the X-ray apparatus, said mounting device comprising a first mounting flange ( 10 ) associated with the radiation source, a second mounting flange ( 20 ) associated with the beam manipulating device, and fastening means ( 60 ) for fixing the first mounting flange ( 10 ) and the second mounting flange ( 20 ) to each other. It is an object of the invention to facilitate the alignment of the X-ray beam manipulating device with respect to an X-ray beam path or an X-ray beam focus of the radiation source. To achieve this, the alignment means ( 30 ) are adapted to be fastened to the first mounting flange ( 10 ), the first mounting flange having a first reference surface ( 31 ) which is in a predetermined spaced relationship with respect to the X-ray beam path. The first reference surface ( 31 ) corresponds with a second reference surface ( 34 ) of the second mounting flange ( 20 ). Furthermore, the invention provides a method for mounting a beam manipulating device to a radiation source of an X-ray apparatus.
