Patent attributes
An x-ray receiver for an x-ray apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the x-ray receiver includes a detector holding apparatus designed such that it can be connected to a detector for receiving x-rays. The x-ray receiver also includes an x-ray grid, connected to the detector holding apparatus, for reducing scattered x-rays, which is designed and arranged to attenuate scattered x-rays with at least one predetermined directional component parallel to a detector plane. In at least one embodiment, the x-ray receiver includes at least one sensor for detecting x-rays that is designed and arranged to detect x-rays striking the detector and, as a function of the detected x-rays, to generate an irradiation signal that represents an x-ray dose or x-ray intensity of the detected x-rays.
