Dental x-ray imaging system for producing an intraoral x-ray image with reduced motion blur comprising: a handheld x-ray emitter (120, 115, 250) which is designed as a mobile handheld device; an intraoral x-ray sensor (110, 105), which can be placed inside the mouth of a patient, in the beam path of the handheld x-ray emitter (120, 115, 250) positioned outside the mouth of the patient, and behind patient tissue to be irradiated; a control device which is configured to control the x-ray sensor and the x-ray emitter, wherein the control device is further configured to record two or more temporally sequential individual x-ray images of the patient tissue during respective exposures in a recording session; an image optimizer which is configured to optimize the or at least one of the sequential individual x-ray images and an overall x-ray image of the patient tissue by means of one or more dark current images; an image selector which is configured to select or reject specific individual x-ray images from the or some of the sequential individual x-ray images; a motion detector which is configured to detect a motion occurring between and during the sequential individual x-ray images; a motion compensator which is configured to harmonize the sequential individual x-ray images with one another such that the motion is compensated; an image combiner which is configured to combine the he sequential, harmonized, x-ray images to the overall x-ray image such that the results of the respective individual exposures are merged; an exposure analyzer which is configured to analyze the result of the exposure of at least one, several or all of the thus far acquired temporally sequential individual x-ray images, wherein the control device is configured to control the x-ray sensor and the x-ray emitter based on the analyzed result of the exposure, in such a way that the exposure of a further of the sequential individual x-ray images and the number of said further images is such that the overall x-ray image achieves a predetermined exposure range, wherein the control device is further configured to create the overall x-ray image from the temporally sequential individual x-ray images such that, on the one hand, the results of the respective exposures are merged and, on the other hand, a motion occurring between and during the sequential individual x-ray images is compensated so as to produce an exposure-blended intraoral x-ray image with reduced motion blur. a handheld x-ray emitter (120, 115, 250) which is designed as a mobile handheld device; an intraoral x-ray sensor (110, 105), which can be placed inside the mouth of a patient, in the beam path of the handheld x-ray emitter (120, 115, 250) positioned outside the mouth of the patient, and behind patient tissue to be irradiated; a control device which is configured to control the x-ray sensor and the x-ray emitter, wherein the control device is further configured to record two or more temporally sequential individual x-ray images of the patient tissue during respective exposures in a recording session; an image optimizer which is configured to optimize the or at least one of the sequential individual x-ray images and an overall x-ray image of the patient tissue by means of one or more dark current images; an image selector which is configured to select or reject specific individual x-ray images from the or some of the sequential individual x-ray images; a motion detector which is configured to detect a motion occurring between and during the sequential individual x-ray images; a motion compensator which is configured to harmonize the sequential individual x-ray images with one another such that the motion is compensated; an image combiner which is configured to combine the he sequential, harmonized, x-ray images to the overall x-ray image such that the results of the respective individual exposures are merged; an exposure analyzer which is configured to analyze the result of the exposure of at least one, several or all of the thus far acquired temporally sequential individual x-ray images, wherein the control device is configured to control the x-ray sensor and the x-ray emitter based on the analyzed result of the exposure, in such a way that the exposure of a further of the sequential individual x-ray images and the number of said further images is such that the overall x-ray image achieves a predetermined exposure range, wherein the control device is further configured to create the overall x-ray image from the temporally sequential individual x-ray images such that, on the one hand, the results of the respective exposures are merged and, on the other hand, a motion occurring between and during the sequential individual x-ray images is compensated so as to produce an exposure-blended intraoral x-ray image with reduced motion blur.
