Claim One:
1. A method for recording an x-ray image of an object with an x-ray imaging system having an x-ray source and an x-ray detector, wherein the x-ray source comprises a plurality of x-ray emitters arranged next to each other for emitting x-ray beams, comprising: assigning a part area of the x-ray detector to each of the x-ray emitters respectively; activating a first x-ray emitter for emitting a first x-ray beam collimated onto a first part area of the x-ray detector assigned to the first x-ray emitter; reading out image data of the first part area of the x-ray detector; subsequently activating a further x-ray emitter for emitting a further x-ray beam collimated onto a further part area of the x-ray detector assigned to the further x-ray emitter; reading out image data of the further part area of the x-ray detector; subsequently activating the rest of the x-ray emitters for emitting the rest of the x-ray beams collimated onto part areas of the x-ray detector assigned to the rest of the x-ray emitters respectively until image data for all part areas of the x-ray detector are read out; and combining the read out image data for all part areas of the x-ray detector into the x-ray image.
