Abstract:
A method for operating a medical X-ray installation having a support at which a solid-state image detector is rotatably mounted and having a control device which controls positioning of said solid-state image detector on said support, said method comprising the steps of:determining an arbitrary position of said solid-state image detector relative to said support at which a risk of collision of said solid-state image detector with another object is lowest, and positioning said solid-state image detector on said support at said arbitrary position; irradiating said solid-state image detector with X-rays during an exposure to obtain an X-ray image from said solid-state image detector; and after said exposure, computationally rotating said image dependent on said arbitrary position of said solid-state image detector to enable a perpendicular presentation of an examination region contained in said X-ray image at an output medium.
