Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0362427A1] In an X-ray diagnostic apparatus with a detector for the average image brightness in a prescribed region, which is formed by a matrix of detector elements, the aim is for the measuring field selection to take place automatically in an optimum fashion. <??>A control device (15) contains a memory (17) for a multiplicity of data records corresponding to the particular body parts represented. A selection device (18) automatically selects the particular data record according to the particular body part and a stored absorption profile on the basis of a pattern recognition. <IMAGE>
