Section: claims

1. A radiography apparatus for producing x-ray shadowgraphs comprising: an x-ray radiator having a focus from which an x-ray beam emanates;  a detector array formed by a line of detector elements; and  means for moving said x-ray radiator while said detector array remains stationary for transirradiating a measurement field, disposed between said x-ray radiator and said detector array, from different directions with said x-ray beam with said x-ray beam being incident on said detector array after passing through said measuring field from said different directions, said detector array generating electrical signals corresponding to the x-rays incident thereon;  means for constructing an x-ray shadowgraph from said electrical signals;  a computer tomography detector array curved around said focus of said x-ray radiator and forming, in combination with said x-ray radiator, a computer tomography measuring unit movable by said means for moving said x-ray radiator around a system axis, said detector array for producing x-ray shadowgraphs being disposed perpendicularly relative to said computer tomography detector array, said computer tomography detector array generating electrical signals corresponding to x-rays from said x-ray radiator incident thereon; and  means for generating a computer tomogram from said electrical signals from said computer tomography detector array. 2. A radiography apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said detector array for producing x-ray shadowgraphs is disposed above said computer tomography detector array. 3. A radiography apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said detector array for producing x-ray shadowgraphs is disposed next to said computer tomography detector array.
