Abstract: A medical imaging system repeatedly irradiates a capturing area of a patient with a radiation, acquires data from the irradiated area of the patient and generates images from such acquired data. The system is arranged for automatic adaptive adjustment of at least one parameter of the system influencing the image quality of the generated images dependent from the position, spatial orientation and/or type of an intervention tool which is introduced into the patient.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining an X-ray image dataset of a target region of an object to be examined, wherein projection images showing the target region are captured by means of an X-ray detector and the X-ray image dataset is reconstructed from the projection images, wherein a first portion of the projection images is captured so as to be collimated onto the target region by the target region being irradiated with X-ray radiation by means of an X-ray device through at least one main radiation opening of a collimator assembly. The invention also relates to a corresponding apparatus for determining an X-ray image dataset of a target region of the object to be examined. The invention generally relates to the field of medical X-ray imaging, in particular with the aim of acquiring projections for reconstructing 2D computed-tomography images.
