X-ray device including an adjustable diaphragm unit

摘要

The invention relates to an X-ray device which operates with only a single image detection device whose format corresponds to the maximum exposure format. In order to facilitate the adjustment of the exposure field for an exposure, a respective set of exposure parameters is stored in a memory for each of the various organs to be imaged; this set includes inter alia an adjustment value for the size of the exposure field for an exposure of the relevant organ. This adjustment value is fetched and the diaphragm unit is automatically controlled in such a manner that the fetched adjustment value is (pre)adjusted.
