Abstract: An x-ray diagnostics installation has an x-ray image intensifier video chain which includes a semiconductor detector composed of pixels arranged in a matrix, serving as the video pick-up and a detector for identifying the average image brightness at the output luminescence screen of the x-ray image intensifier within a predetermined image region. A first read-out circuit is provided for pixels of a first group in the image, which is operated with a read-out clock at a first frequency, and a second read-out circuit is provided for pixels of a second group distributed over the area of the semiconductor detector, which is operated with a read-out clock at a second frequency. The second frequency is higher than the first frequency. The output signals of the pixels of the second group are supplied to an evaluation circuit, and the output signals of the first group of pixels are supplied to the video chain. Image production parameters, such as image brightness, can be controlled on the basis of the output signals of the second group of pixels.

Abstract: An x-ray diagnostics installation includes an x-ray tube, a variable aperture diaphragm, and an x-ray image intensifier video chain which includes an x-ray image intensifier, a video pick-up unit, a processing circuit, and a playback unit. The variable aperture diaphragm has a central region and an outer region which exhibit different x-ray transparencies. When adjusted to a first position, the aperture diaphragm permits x-rays to pass only through said central region unattenuated. The aperture diaphragm is adjusted to a second position for every n.sup.th image, wherein both the central region and the outer region permit x-rays to pass through the diaphragm unattenuated. Each n.sup.th image is entered into an image memory connected to the video pick-up unit and is superimposed on an image produced when the diaphragm is in the first position.

Abstract: An x-ray examination apparatus includes a position-adjustable x-ray tube, a patient support, and a position-adjustable image pick-up system, the image pick-up system including an x-ray image intensifier and a video camera coupled thereto. The output of the video camera is shown on a display monitor. Signals identifying the position of the x-ray tube and the image-pick-up system relative to a patient are supplied to a computer, which calculates angular deviation of those components from a desired reference. Signals corresponding to any such deviations are supplied to the horizontal and vertical sawtooth voltage generators for the video camera, so that scanning of the target of the video camera is always undertaken perpendicularly relative to the reference, independently of movement of the image pick-up system.

Abstract: A stereoscopic x-ray tube has an evacuated housing with a motor-driven anode dish therein, as well as at least two cathodes. The cathodes are disposed for directing electrons onto two respective foci within at least one track of the anode dish. Each of the foci generates a beam of useful x-rays, the two beams alternating. The anode dish is divided into at least one pair of segments of identical size, each segment emitting x-rays of a different intensity, so that only one segment in each pair can emit useful x-rays. The cathodes are disposed such that their respective foci are spaced at an uneven multiple of the length of the track within a segment.

Abstract: An X-ray diagnostics installation has an X-ray source and an X-ray image intensifier video chain, including an X-ray image intensifier, a video camera, a control circuit that derives control pulses for producing images of a subject from data supplied thereto identifying exposure conditions, and a subtraction circuit for forming the difference between stored video signals and continuing, current video signals given the same exposure conditions. The X-ray source is cyclically moved during the production of a number of successive images, with the control circuit deriving the control pulses for the production of images from apparatus positions and, possibly, from the ECG of the subject. The subtraction circuit forms the difference between predetermined video signals stored for different apparatus positions and heart phases of a heart cycle and continuing, current video signals obtained at the same apparatus positions and at the same heart phase.

Abstract: An x-ray diagnostics installation has an x-ray source connected to a parameter setting unit which sets exposure parameters (operating characteristics) of the x-ray source, and an x-ray image intensifier video chain. The x-ray image intensifier video chain includes a processing circuit connected to a video pick-up stage and a motion detector. The processing unit controls the parameters of a filter unit for chronological filtering of the video signal. The motion detector is connected to the parameter setting unit for the x-ray source, and controls the filter unit depending on the exposure parameters which are set for a given exposure, such as the level of the video signal, the tube voltage, the radiation dose, and the imaging format of the x-ray image intensifier, all of which are set at the parameter setting unit and which characterize the exposure.
