    摘要: X-ray examination apparatus including a filter An X-ray examination apparatus (1) includes an X-ray source (2), an X-ray detector (5) and an X-ray filter (6). The X-ray filter (6) is arranged between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector. The X-ray filter (6) includes a plurality of filter elements (7) whose X-ray absorptivity can be adjusted by adjusting a quantity of X-ray absorbing liquid (30) present in individual filter elements (7). The filter elements are formed by substantially parallel plates (8), respective plates being provided with separating members (10) which project approximately transversely from the plane of such a plate. The filter elements are formed notably by parallel corrugated plates or by parallel plates provided with partitions extending transversely from the plates.

    摘要: An X-ray examination apparatus of this invention comprises an X-ray source, an X-ray detector and an X-ray filter which is located between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector. The X-ray filter includes filter elements, notably capillary tubes, and the X-ray absorption of separate filter elements can be controlled by controlling a quantity of X-ray absorbing liquid in the respective filter elements. The quantity of X-ray absorbing liquid in the individual filter elements is controlled by way of electric voltages applied to the individual filter elements. The filter elements are formed as spaces between deformed foils which are arranged in a stack which is expanded in the direction transversely of the foils. Adjacent foils are locally attached to one another along seams. The stack is arranged between rigid plates and buffer elements are provided between the rigid plates and the stack. The buffer elements are contractable in the direction transversely to the direction of expansion of the stack. The shape of the cross-section of the capillary tubes is dependent on the ratio of the width of the seams to the spacing of the seams.

    摘要: An X-ray examination apparatus includes an X-ray source (1) for emitting X-rays. An object to be radiologically examined is arranged in an examination space. An X-ray detector (2) derives an image signal, for example an electronic video signal, from an X-ray image of the object. An X-ray filter locally attenuates the X-rays partly. The X-ray filter is arranged between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector and the X-ray filter is provided with filter elements whose X-ray absorptivity can be adjusted on the basis of an amount of X-ray absorbing liquid present within the individual filter elements.The X-ray examination apparatus includes an X-ray collimator for locally intercepting the X-rays. The X-ray collimator is arranged between the X-ray source and the examination space and is provided with collimator elements which can be switched between an X-ray transmitting state and an X-ray intercepting state. Individual collimator elements are filled with an X-ray intercepting liquid in the X-ray intercepting state.The amount of X-ray absorbing liquid present in the filter elements is controlled by application of an electric voltage to the relevant filter elements. The collimator elements are switched between the X-ray intercepting state and the X-ray transmitting state by means of an electric voltage which is applied to the relevant collimator elements.
