Abstract: An x-ray device is provided. The x-ray device includes an x-ray emitter, an image receiver arranged in a radiation direction at a distance from the x-ray emitter, a patient support disposed between the x-ray emitter and the image receiver, a relative position of the x-ray emitter and the image receiver being adjustable with respect to the patient support in at least one spatial direction, and a scattered ray protection device, which can be fixed in a fixed relative position with respect to the image receiver and/or the x-ray emitter as a reference object using a coupling unit the scattered ray protection device being entrained with the reference object when the reference object is adjusted with respect to the patient support.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for adjusting a scanning region of a computed tomography (CT) scanner. At least one edge point of a set-point scanning region on a patient examination table associated with the CT scanner is indicated by hand signals of a user. Via a distance sensor, mounted at a reference point of the patient examination table, a distance from the at least of edge point to the reference point is measured. From the measured distance, the position of the at least one edge point relative to the patient examination table is determined, and a corresponding edge of a CT scanning region of the CT scanner is conformed to the derived position.
