An X-ray system has two X-ray arrays each having an X-ray source and an X-ray detector. The X-ray arrays can be swiveled around a common swiveling axis within whose range an object is locatable. The X-ray detectors are situated opposite the X-ray sources with respect to the swiveling axis. They are embodied as flat-panel detectors so that an irradiating of the object in a first or, as the case may be, second irradiation plane can be registered by them. The irradiation planes contain the swiveling axis and run perpendicular to connecting lines linking the X-ray sources to the X-ray detectors. The area contents of the irradiation planes are mutually different. When the X-ray arrays are positioned correspondingly, the first irradiation plane will completely cover the second irradiation plane.
