Abstract: A plurality of plates is bonded together by butting in order to manufacture a flat-plate x-ray detector. The butting determines artifacts in x-ray images taken with the flat-plate x-ray detector. According to the invention the butting structure is first measured in the flat-plate x-ray detector and a pixel quantity parameter is determined for an interpolation, whereby said parameter can be small for a narrow butting structure and large for a wide butting structure. Accordingly an interpolation of pixel data in x-ray images which have been taken is performed on the basis of the pixel quantity parameter, preferably by row or by column.

Abstract: For noise correction in connection with a flat-panel x-ray detector (2), noise signals of a dark area (6) are checked for deviations exceeding a specified threshold (g) which, if any are present, will be taken into consideration separately for calculating the correction factor derived from the noise signal. Image artifacts due, for example, to high-contrast objects such as, for instance, cardiac pacemakers or metallic implants, in the x-ray image will be avoided through this measure.

Abstract: A detector holder for a flat panel x-ray detector has a mechanical plug interface that allows flat panel x-ray detectors of respectively different types to be connected to and held by the detector holder. An x-ray system equipped with such a detector holder can be used flexibly for different applications respectively requiring different types of flat panel x-ray detectors. The type of the flat panel x-ray detector currently retained by the detector holder can be automatically detected and used by the data processor that processed output signals from the currently-employed flat panel x-ray detector.

Abstract: By a contrast means contained in an inventive stent which has a greater permeability for x-radiation features than the body tissue surrounding the stent in a relevant body conduit, this stent can be clearly detected in its position on an x-ray image of the relevant body conduit while at the same time exhibiting good biological compatibility; a gas, especially one contained in cavities of the stent is provided as a contrast means. The inventive production method for this stent with the aid of a catheter embodied specially for the purpose enables the production of the stent from a malleable polymer mass in the relevant body conduit so that the stent is adapted especially precisely to the shape of the relevant body conduit.

Abstract: According to at least one embodiment of the invention, the measurement of an image dose is performed in the flat X-ray detector itself. The flat X-ray detector, in at least one embodiment, has a scintillator that converts the incident X-rays into light. The actual image signals are then generated in a light converting layer. A portion of the light generated by the scintillator is branched off, with the use of fiber optic elements, to at least one photocounter. The fraction of the branched off light is fixed, that is to say a measured value determined by the photocounter is proportional to the image dose. It is thereby possible to determine the image dose provisionally during image recording, and to intervene for control purposes by, if appropriate, changing the image recording period (beam time on X-ray tube) and the operating voltage of an X-ray tube during the image recording.

Abstract: For a uniform image quality of digital X-ray records, a solid-state detector is provided. The detector includes light-sensitive pixel elements arranged in an active matrix, and a reset light source arranged behind them in the radiation direction of X-ray radiation, with the reset light source being in the form of an arrangement with light-emitting diodes and with the light-emitting diodes being designed such that can be driven individually and their intensity can be controlled individually. At least one of a failed and malfunctioning light-emitting diode is detectable. The intensities of the serviceable light-emitting diodes are driven and controlled in the event of a failure or a malfunction of at least one light-emitting diode in such a manner that the intensity and/or the homogeneity of the reset light source remains the same.
