Abstract

Abstract Translated from German Die Erfindung betrifft eine Blendenanordnung für ein Mammographie-Röntgengerät. Ein mit der Strahlenquelle verbundener Tubus blendet ein dem Format des Bildaufnehmers entsprechendes Strahlenfeld aus. Dieses Strahlenfeld wird durch eine in dem Tubus angeordnete schwenkbare Blendenklappe noch weiter eingeengt. Durch Schwenkung der Blendenklappe kann es den anatomischen Gegebenheiten angepaßt werden. The invention relates to an aperture arrangement for a mammography x-ray device. A tube connected to the radiation source hides a radiation field corresponding to the format of the image sensor. This radiation field is narrowed even further by a pivotable diaphragm flap arranged in the tube. By swiveling the diaphragm flap, it can be adapted to the anatomical conditions.
