  • Arrangement and method for an X-ray image system with a grid frame arranged to enable the grid frame to oscillate
    Patent number: 9105366
    Abstract: An arrangement for an X-ray image system with a grid frame arranged to enable the grid frame to oscillate is provided. The arrangement includes a switch unit, with which an anti-scatter grid inserted into the grid frame may be detected. An X-ray emission is only triggered by the switch unit at a predeterminable activation time if an anti-scatter grid is inserted.
