Patent Number: 
Section: claims

1. An apparatus for an X-ray dosimeter support, comprising:a material-poor support layer, the support layer being a membrane, a perforated membrane, a fabric, or a mesh;a frame to hold the support layer;a dosimeter on the support layer; andat least one leg to elevate the frame. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 in which the support layer is equipped with a detection-chamber alignment hole. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1 in which an X-ray entry surface of the frame is equipped with an X-ray shield. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1 in which a sidewall of the frame facing the dosimeter is equipped with an X-ray shield. 5. The apparatus according to claim 4 in which the X-ray shield on the sidewall of the frame is inclined towards the X-ray source. 6. The apparatus according to claim 1 in which the at least one leg is hollow. 7. An apparatus for an X-ray dosimeter support, comprising:a material-poor support layer;a frame to hold the support layer;at least one leg to elevate the frame; anddetection-chamber or X-ray beam centering markers provided upon the support layer. 8. An apparatus for an X-ray dosimeter support, comprising:a material-poor support layer;a frame to hold the support layer; andat least one leg to elevate the frame, the at least one leg being inclined towards an X-ray source. 9. The apparatus according to claim 8 in which the support layer is a membrane, a perforated membrane, a fabric, or a mesh. 10. The apparatus according to claim 9 in which the frame is equipped with an X-ray shield above the at least one leg. 11. A method for measuring the output of an X-ray source with an X-ray dosimeter, comprising:providing a support device for the dosimeter comprising material-poor support layer, a frame to hold the support layer, and at least one leg to elevate the frame, in which the support layer is a membrane, a perforated membrane, a fabric, or a mesh; andplacing the dosimeter on the support layer in an X-ray beam to measure the beam. 12. The method according to claim 11 in which the support layer is equipped with a detection-chamber alignment hole. 13. The method according to claim 11 in which the X-ray entry surface of the frame is equipped with an X-ray shield. 14. The method according to claim 11 in which the sidewall of the frame facing the dosimeter is equipped with an X-ray shield. 15. The method according to claim 14 in which the X-ray shield on the sidewall of the frame is inclined towards the X-ray source. 16. The method according to claim 11 in which the at least one leg is hollow. 17. The method according to claim 11 in which the at least one leg is inclined towards the X-ray source. 18. The method according to claim 17 in which the frame is equipped with an X-ray shield above the at least one leg. 19. A method for measuring the output of an X-ray source with an X-ray dosimeter, comprising:providing a support device for the dosimeter comprising material-poor support layer, a frame to hold the support layer, and at least one leg to elevate the frame;providing detection-chamber or X-ray beam centering markers upon the support layer; andplacing the dosimeter on the support layer in an X-ray beam to measure the beam. 20. The method according to claim 19 in which the support layer is a membrane, a perforated membrane, a fabric, or a mesh.
