Claim 15:
16. A method for locating a detection element (DT) of an X-ray detection system as claimed in claim 4, the method comprising the following steps:
rotating the support of the collimation device about its axis of rotation (Δ) at a fixed angular speed of rotation (V);
exposing the support to an X-ray beam from the X-ray source during the rotation of the support;
the detection element (DT) detecting X-rays passing through the slit in the support at two successive times, a first time (t_alpha) corresponding to a first angular position (alpha) of the slit and a second time (t_beta) corresponding to a second angular position (alpha) of the slit,
the processing unit determining the projected position (C) in the main plane (P) of the support of the detection element (DT) based on the first and second angular positions.
