Abstract:
1. An X-ray diagnostics method, comprising: examining a patient by operating an X-ray device; and adjusting a control parameter representing an image quality, a detector input dose, or a contrast noise ratio for enhancing the image quality of the X-ray device between a predetermined minimum and maximum value; wherein said adjusting a control parameter is effective to correspondingly adjust a plurality of recording parameters according to a pre-determined functional dependency between the plurality of recording parameters and the control parameter such that a present value of the recording parameters is adjusted based upon a present value of the control parameter according to the pre-determined functional dependency; wherein the control parameter is adjusted by actuating an operating element assigned to the control parameter: wherein the X-ray device is configured to have the image quality adjusted using the operating element at any point in time during the examination of the patient; and wherein a plurality of alternative pre-determined functional dependencies of at least one of the plurality of recording parameters from the control parameter is provided such that a current value of the at least one of the plurality of recording parameters is set based upon a current value of the control parameter according to one of the plurality of alternative pre-determined functional dependencies selected by a user of the x-ray device.
