Title of Invention

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING IMAGING PARAMETERS OF AN X-RAY APPARATUS

Abstract The invention relates to a device for adjusting imaging parameters of an X-ray apparatus (1), whereby a user predefines on a preliminary image an image region of interest (ROI) and a value of the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNRref) desired for this image region. Based on the current contrast-to-noise ratio (CNRm), new imaging parameters (I, V, L, f, Q0) are then calculated for a generator-control module (7) to control the X-ray apparatus (1) during an image. By means of the method, the X-ray dose may be reduced to a minimum, while at the same time the desired visibility of a region of interest is ensured.
