Section: claims

1. An X-ray device, for half-scanning, the device comprising:a radiation source;a detector disposed in a beam path of the radiation source behind an object;a rotating plate comprising a rotary shaft provided adjacent to the radiation source in the beam path, the rotary shaft extending perpendicularly through a center axis of a radiation cone, wherein one side of the rotary shaft comprises X-ray-absorbing material; anda scanner that is operable to scan the object and the detector in only some portions to record two half-images, the two half-images being joined together to produce an X-ray image. 2. The X-ray device as defined by claim 1, wherein the X-ray-absorbing material ends a short distance from the rotary shaft. 3. The X-ray device as defined by claim 1, wherein the plate is essentially rectangularly symmetrical to the rotary shaft, and the second half comprises a frame that is operable as a balance. 4. The X-ray device as defined by claim 1, wherein in the time intervals between the half-image radiation exposure time slots, the X-radiation is interrupted. 5. The X-ray device as defined by claim 4, wherein the radiation source is operable in a pulsed mode. 6. The X-ray device as defined by claim 4, wherein in the time intervals between the half-image radiation exposure time slots, a screen is operable to interrupt the beam path of the radiation source. 7. The X-ray device as defined by claim 4, wherein the plate is operable to rotate at twice or a higher multiple of the speed of normal operation. 8. The X-ray device as defined by claim 1, wherein the object includes a patient. 9. The X-ray device as defined by claim 1, wherein images are partially overlapped. 10. The X-ray device as defined by claim 1, wherein the plate is essentially rectangularly symmetrical to the rotary shaft, and the second half comprises a plate of X-ray permeable material. 11. The X-ray device as defined by claim 7 wherein the plate is operable to avoid a doubled or higher-multiple image frequency. 12. The X-ray device as defined by claim 7, wherein two half-images are recorded upon each revolution. 13. The X-ray device as defined by claim 11, wherein two half-images are recorded upon each revolution. 14. The X-ray device as defined by claim 11, wherein the X-ray absorbing material is coated on the plate. 15. In a method of creating an X-ray image using a plate disposed between a radiation source and an object to be irradiated, the plate comprising a shaft, a first half that includes an X-ray absorbing material, and a second half that transmits radiation from the radiation source, the method comprising:directing radiation from the radiation source to the object;creating a first half of an image;rotating the plate; andcreating a second half of an image. 16. The method of creating an X-ray image as defined in claim 15, comprising combining the first half of an image with the second half of an image. 17. An X-radiation plate for suppressing scattered radiation where the plate is disposed between a radiation source and an object to be irradiated, the plate comprising:a rotatable shaft,a first half that includes an X-ray absorbing material, anda second half that comprises a frame forming only a single aperture that allows transmission of radiation from the radiation source,wherein the first half is connected to the rotatable shaft such that rotation of the rotatable shaft allows for recording X-ray half-images. 18. The X-radiation plate as defined by claim 17, wherein the X-ray absorbing material blocks out X-ray images. 19. The X-radiation plate as defined by claim 17, wherein the first half is rectangular.
