US Patent 7496223 Imaging device including optimized imaging correction

In order to eliminate ghost effects, offset images (16, 17) are recorded in an imaging device with an x-ray detector immediately before and after the recording of an x-ray image (10), and, from said offset images (16, 17), an optimized offset image (19) is calculated which can be used to calculate an x-ray image (21) that is free from ghost effects.
