1. An X-ray imaging system element for determining a geometrical parameter of an object, comprisinga first compression element;

  • anda second compression element;

    wherein the first compression element and the second compression element are movable relative to one another;

    wherein an object is introducible between the first compression element and the second compression element;

    wherein the object is compressible between the first compression element and the second compression element;

    wherein at least one the first compression element and the second compression element is adapted to alter its geometrical shape and/or alignment relative to the further compression element of the first compression element and the second compression element when the object is compressed between the first compression element, and the second compression element;

    wherein X-radiation may penetrate the first compression element, the object and the second compression element;

    wherein at least one of the first compression element and the second compression element comprises at least one at least partly X-ray opaque marker element;

    wherein the marker element is adapted to allow detection of an alteration of the geometrical shape of the respective compression element.
