    摘要: The invention relates to a method of generating X-ray images by means of a photoconductor which is provided on a conductive substrate and whose surface potential can be read by means of probes, and also relates to a device suitable for carrying out the method. In order to avoid image artefacts which could be caused by deviating sensitivities of the probes or by frequency-dependent distortions, after the charging of the photoconductor the substrate potential is varied during a test phase. Test data is generated which correspond to the spatial or temporal variation of the potential on the surface of the photoconductor; from this test data there is formed correction data which is stored in order to correct the image data of a subsequent X-ray exposure.

    摘要: At least one primary diaphragm comprises two elements displaceable so as to form a linear fan-shaped beam which is incident on an object to be examined. The elements form the slit-shaped aperture forming the fan beam in their normal X-ray beam forming position and are moveable to a respective, selectable limit position perpendicularly to the fan shaped beam in order to define and mark an examination zone greater in cross-section area than the fan beam with a light beam. Light incident on the examination zone is restricted by the diaphragm elements in their limit positions, thus marking the examination zone with the light beam. X-ray exposure of the object to be examined takes place only when the elements are between the two positions defining the examination zone of the primary diaphragm where its diaphragm elements occupy in their respective limit positions.

    摘要: A plurality of electrometer probes scan the charge pattern of a photoconductor (1), the distance between the electrometer probes (6) and the photoconductor (1) being measured via an alternating voltage applied to the photoconductor (1). The alternating voltage is scanned by the electrometer probes and is filtered out to extract distance measuring signals. The output signals of all electrometer probes (6) are used for determining image values of the X-ray image, the output signals of at least some of the electrometer probes (6) also being used, via a suitable filter (23), for determining the distance measuring signals. An adjusting device adjusts the distance between the electrometer probes (6) and the photoconductor (1) continuously to a reference value, in dependence on the value of the measuring signals, during the scanning operation.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device for producing X-ray images by means of a photoconductor which converts X-rays into a charge pattern, which photoconductor is charged prior to the X-ray exposure, its surface being scanned after the exposure in order to detect the charge pattern. Artefacts are liable to occur in an X-ray image when the exposure directly follows an X-ray exposure during which the photoconductor has received, at least in given areas, a high dose. These artegacts are avoided in accordance with the invention in that there is provided a recharging device which limits the decrease of the charge density on the surface of the photoconductor during the X-ray exposure to a predetermined value.

    摘要: The invention relates to the elimination of streak-like artefacts in slit radiography which are caused by an axial excursion of the rotary anode X-ray tube used for making the radiographs. These streaks can be eliminated by adapting the speed of displacement of the X-ray beam, the number of revolutions per unit time of the anode and the intensity profile of the radiation beam to one another so that for each point the intensity modulation in the half-shade area, caused by the periodic displacement of the focal point, is compensated for.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of producing an X-ray exposure is provided by a photoconductor, which converts X-radiation into a charge pattern, is evenly charged locally before the X-ray exposure, is discharged by the exposure as a function of the intensity of the X-radiation and the surface of which is scanned after the exposure for detecting the charge density, an image value being formed for each image point, corresponding to the discharge at the image point. The measured image values may be falsified by the self-discharge of the photoconductor induced by X-radiation. Since the self-discharge always proceeds in accordance with the same time laws, the self-discharge effects are corrected utilizing the time of the scanning instants, i.e., position in time with respect to the X-ray exposure and the end of the charging of the photoconductor in conjunction with a characteristic discharge function of the photoconductor and a correction factor.
