Section: claims

1. A collimator arrangement in a digital X-ray imaging apparatus comprising at least one X-ray source and a registering means, said collimator arrangement being provided for varying an exposure area of said registering means to X-ray radiation from said X-ray source, said varying being dependent on a tilt angle associated with the registering means, said collimator arrangement comprising at least two substantially similar collimator parts, namely a first part and second part, each part comprising a carrier, each being provided with similar slot configurations arranged along a longitudinal axis of the said carrier, wherein said first collimator part is arranged on one surface of said second collimator part and tat said substantially similar collimator parts are arranged to slide relative each other in a transversal direction. 2. The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein said registering means is one of a semiconductor-based detector, a gas-based detector or an X-ray sensitive film. claim 1 3. A method for providing a variable exposure of registering means to X-ray radiation from an X-ray source within an X-ray imaging apparatus, sad apparatus including a collimator arrangement comprising at least two substantially similar collimator parts, of which each one of a first part and second part includes a carrier provided with similar slot configurations, the method comprising the step of: varying the collimator arrangement, where said varying is dependent on a tilt angle associated with the registering means, wherein the steps of varying the collimator arrangement further comprises:  arranging said first collimator part on one surface of said second collimator part; and  sliding said substantially similar collimator parts relative each other in a transversal direction, enabling adjusting a spatial resolution in a dimension orthogonal to said slots.
