Abstract: In a method and an apparatus for acquisition of a digital x-ray image of an examination subject with a digital x-ray receiver, the digital x-ray image being composed of a number of individual images acquired in temporal succession and overlapping one another at least in one diagnostically-relevant subject region, at least one intermediate image composed of a number of individual images is evaluated to control at least one acquisition parameter used to generate the x-ray image. For the acquisition of digital x-ray images, an exposure control without exposure of the patient to an additional radiation dose is possible.

Abstract: In a method for medical evaluation in three-dimensional imaging, in particular in mammography, projection exposures of a subject to be examined are generated and are stored in electronic form. Slice images are reconstructed from the projection exposures with a reconstruction method. A physician reviews and medically evaluates the slice images and marks a positive medical finding in the slice image with a first marker. A CAD system medically evaluates the slice images and marks a positive medical finding in the slice image with a second marker. A slice image with a first marker and a second marker deviating from one another is reconsidered and reevaluated by the physician.

Abstract: In a method for the fast acquisition of a magnetic resonance image, magnetic resonance signals from an imaging region are conditioned with magnetic gradient fields that define a spatial frequency space so that the spatial frequency domain is occupied with magnetic resonance signals having trajectories that are radially directed and proceed through a projection center, and the imaging region is divided into sub-regions with an antenna of an antenna array respectively allocated to each sub-region. The antennas have respective positions relative to the projection center such that the antennas simultaneously receive the magnetic resonance signals and form reception signals from the magnetic resonance signals according to their sensitivity. The number of radially directed trajectories is of only such a size so that the sub-zones regardless of their spatial position in the imaging zone from the respective reception signals can be unambiguously reconstructed. The reception signals of the individual antennas, taking the positions of the individual antennas into consideration, are transformed in a transformation step to form a magnetic resonance image of the entire imaging zone.

Abstract: In an apparatus for examining living tissue by means of X-rays and by electric impedance measurement, a control device optionally activates an X-ray source and a radiation receiver, and/or for applying current or voltage signals to the tissue to be examined and a unit for measuring induced potentials or currents. This allows an X-ray image to be produced and induced potentials and currents to be measured either simultaneously or sequentially. It is also possible to fuse the respective images produced in these ways.

Abstract: An x-ray source has multiple electron sources spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal direction that is defined as being parallel to the rotation axis of a rotating anode which is common to all of the electron sources. Each electron source emits electrons that strike the anode at respective strike points that are spatially separated from each other along the longitudinal direction, to produce respective emission centers, from which x-rays are emitted, each emission center being associated with respective ones of the x-ray sources.
