Abstract: A low consumption method of regulating a voltage follower feeding a load
comprising a follower stage composed of a pair of bipolar junction transistors first
and second in cascade, biased by a current generator, comprises the steps of
increasing or decreasing progressively the bias current generated by the current
generator in function of a feedback signal representative of the current that the
second transistor delivers to the load, as the current delivered to the load increases
or decreases, respectively. 
     A voltage follower comprises a follower stage composed of a pair of bipolar
junction transistors first and second in cascade, biased by a current generator. The
voltage follower dissipates a relatively reduced power when the output current is
small, because it comprises a second current generator connected between the
current node of the input transistor of the voltage follower and a common
potential node of the stage, and the first bias current generator is in the form of a
current mirror, the diode connected transistor of which is coupled through a
cascode stage to the current node of the first transistor connected to the second
current generator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an X-ray apparatus for imaging anatomical parts of the human anatomy, in particular for imaging the human spine. In order to improve the quality and the diagnostic value of projection images of the anatomical parts (20) it is proposed according to the invention to acquire at least one initial projection image of at least the region of interest of the anatomy (20), to determine the positions and/or orientations of the anatomical parts in the region of interest from the at least one initial projection image and/or from other sources of information, to determine the optimum imaging parameters for the anatomical parts from their positions and/or orientations, and to acquire images of the anatomical parts while using the optimum imaging parameters. The complexity of the scene and the mixture of over-projecting structures limiting the diagnostic reliability of the projection images are thus taken into account. In a preferred embodiment a scanning trajectory (21) is determined while using the information of the at least one initial projection image along which the source-detector unit (1, 2) is moved while acquiring the projection images of the spine (20).
