Abstract: In a method to create dual energy x-ray image data of a predetermined volume segment of an examination subject with an x-ray system, a low-energy x-ray image data of the volume segment is created, a high-energy x-ray image data of the volume segment is created, the low-energy x-ray image data is subtracted from the high-energy x-ray image data to create the dual energy x-ray image data. An x-ray filter that consists essentially of titanium is used in the creation of the dual energy x-ray image data.

Abstract: A mammography apparatus has at least one x-ray source to emit x-ray radiation and an x-ray detector with a number of pixels. The mammography apparatus is designed so that the x-ray radiation is emitted into the breast tissue of a patient at a number of positions, and the x-ray radiation is detected by the x-ray detector after it has passed through the breast tissue. The positions have different distances from the shoulder-to-shoulder axis of the patient.

Abstract: An X-ray appliance is disclosed including an X-ray emitter, arranged such that it cannot rotate, and a flat detector mounted such that it can rotate. The appliance further includes an upgraded calibration device, by which calibration images are recorded for different rotations of the detector relative to the X-ray emitter, with a complete calibration data record with a gain image and pixel defect map being created for each rotation position of the flat detector.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a flat detector in different dose ranges and at different amplifier levels. A previously measured detector sensitivity is respectively used for the calibration. The detector sensitivity is determined for each amplifier level at a multiplicity of different points in the overall gain-specific dose range. Further, a calibration value of the previously measured neighboring values is used in order to calibrate a measurement image for a predetermined dose.

Abstract: A mammography apparatus has a bed unit on which, during a screening, the patient lies ventrally on a recumbent surface of the bed unit. The recumbent surface has a configuration allowing variable individual parts of the bed unit to be positioned so that the bed position of the patient is optimized and the components of the x-ray unit that are arranged below the bed unit can be positioned and aligned relative to one another such that the base of the breast to be x-rayed is also imaged.

Abstract: In a control method and a control unit to control a high-energy, tomosynthesis scan in a contrast agent-assisted dual-energy tomosynthesis, image data of a first tomosynthesis scan are evaluated in order to determine the respective greyscale values for all volume segments. A tube current-time product value for every greyscale value is stored in a memory. For every projection angle, a calculation unit can thereupon calculate a tube current-time product value and acquisition parameters and result with which the second high-energy tomosynthesis scan is controlled.
