  • introducing automatically a phantom into a space between an X-ray source and an X-ray detector during a test;

    acquiring at least one image while the phantom is present in the beam path;

    monitoring a defined safe state in a safety zone around the X-ray system by means of sensors; and

    interrupting the generation of X-rays upon detection that the safe state is abandoned.
