Patent ID: 7503693

Claim:
A mobile x-ray receiver for an x-ray apparatus, comprising: a detector holding apparatus, designed to connect to a detector for receiving x-rays; an x-ray grid, connected to the detector holding apparatus, to reduce scattered x-rays, the x-ray grid being designed and arranged to attenuate scattered x-rays with at least one predetermined directional component parallel to a detector plane; and at least one sensor to detect x-rays, the at least one sensor being designed and arranged to detect x-rays striking the detector and, as a function of the detected x-rays, to generate an irradiation signal that represents at least one of an x-ray dose and an x-ray intensity of the detected x-rays, wherein the at least one sensor being designed to generate a distance signal representing a perpendicular alignment of the x-ray grid plane to an x-ray, the x-ray grid plane aligned relative to a predetermined position in the region of an x-ray transmitter.
