Method for recording x-ray image of examination region of patient using recording unit, involves recording x-ray image of examination region and segmenting examination region into two x-ray images

摘要

The method involves recording an x-ray image of the examination region and segmenting the examination region into two x-ray images. An axis of maximum extension of the examination region is determined in the segmented former x-ray image and the position of the axis of maximum extension of the examination region is determined. A recording angle is determined in the restricted region such that the axis of maximum extension encloses a smallest possible angle with the recording unit. An independent claim is included for a device for recording an x-ray image of an examination region of a patient.
