Radiation image recording device
First Claim
1. A medical imaging device, comprising:
- a radiation source;
a digital radiation detector for recording images, the radiation source and the digital radiation detector configured to be moved vertically relative to a patient in a standing position;
a control device adapted to move the radiation source and the digital radiation detector to a plurality of successive imaging positions for recording an image of an examination area having a height exceeding a height of an active surface area of the digital radiation detector; and
an image processing device for generating a combined image showing the examination area, whereinthe plurality of successive imaging positions are calculated by the control device based on user input data providing the height of the examination area and based on the height of the active surface area of the digital radiation detector,an image is recorded at each imaging position, the images recorded at the imaging positions in their entirety covering the examination area, andthe image processing device is configured to generate the combined image using the images recorded at the imaging positions.

Abstract
Disclosed is a radiation image recording device comprising a source of radiation and a radiation receiver which are movable in a vertical direction in order to be positioned relative to a standing patient, and an image processing device for creating an output image based on the recorded image data. The source of radiation and the radiation receiver are movable in a controlled manner into successive image recording positions via a control device so as to record an area of analysis which exceeds the height of the active area of the digital radiation receiver, one radiation image being recorded in each image recording position. The positions are defined in such a way that the recorded radiation images cover the area of analysis while the image processing device is embodied so as to create a full image representing the entire area of analysis based on the image data of the individual radiation images.
