Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating an X-ray diagnostic device with an X-ray source and an X-ray image detector with a sequence of images of low resolution single pictures with systems of coordinates that are different from each other being created, a harmonization of systems of coordinates of images being carried out, and finally a high resolution image being calculated from the images.

25. A method for operating an x-ray diagnostic device comprising an x-ray source and an x-ray detector, comprising:
-
creating a sequence comprising a plurality of low resolution images of an object under diagnosis, wherein the low resolution images comprises a plurality of coordinate systems that are different from each other;
selecting an image from the low resolution images as a reference image gR;
calculating an affine transformation Ti for each image gi of the low resolution images as in a homogenous coordinate system consisting of an angle of rotation ai and a translation (xi, yi) within an image plane;
determining a parameter that maps the image gi onto the reference image gR with a minimum error;
transferring the low resolution images to the homogenous coordinate system by the affine transformation;
superimposing the transferred low resolution images; and
calculating a high resolution image based on the superimposition. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)
