Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil d'examen radiologique qui comprend des dispositifs permettant de générer une image radiographique d'un objet et disposant d'une entrée de commande de brillance. Des dispositifs de traitement d'image sont associés aux dispositifs de génération d'images radiographiques afin d'envoyer un signal de commande de brillance à ladite entrée de commande. Les dispositifs de génération d'images radiographiques disposent d'une sortie de données radiographiques, les dispositifs de traitement d'image disposent d'une entrée de données radiographiques reliée à la sortie de données radiographiques, et les dispositifs de traitement d'image constituent des organes de calcul permettant de calculer les propriétés d'absorption de l'objet et de générer le signal de commande de brillance dépendant de ces propriétés d'absorption. Une sélection appropriée du champ de mesure est maintenant possible grâce aux propriétés d'absorption calculées d'objets ou de parties d'objets identifiables reproduits dans l'image visible. La qualité de l'image est améliorée car la commande de brillance se base sur des champs de mesure plus convenablement sélectionnés.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sandwich consisting of two toasted slices of bread and an edible filling placed between said slices. According to the invention, the filling is essentially arranged in the inner region of the surfaces of the slices of bread and the slices of bread are pressed together in a peripheral edge area with greater force than in the inner region so that the slices of bread adhere to each other and form a cohesive sandwich arrangement, whereby the filling is packed between the slices of bread. The invention also relates to a method for the production of a toasted sandwich that consists of two slices of bread and an edible filling placed between said slices. According to the invention, the filling is initially and essentially arranged in the inner region of the surface of a first underlying slice of bread. A second slice of bread is subsequently placed thereon. The sandwich arrangement is pressed together in an edge area with greater force than in the inner region under the effect of heating, whereby the slices of bread and the filling placed therebetween form a cohesive sandwich arrangement whose peripheral edge areas are closed. The invention further relates to a device for the production of an inventive sandwich.
