ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for controlling an X-ray device having at least one X-ray tube and at least one X-ray detector, wherein the X-ray tube and/or the X-ray detector are movably arranged, before an activation of an X-ray tube indicated for a desired measurement, an automatic check is made out as to whether an X-ray detector indicated for the desired measurement is activated. Position data of the appertaining X-ray tube and/or appertaining X-ray detector are also automatically determined and using the identified position data, the relative positions of the appertaining X-ray tube and of the appertaining X-ray detector relative to one another are identified. The X-ray tube is enabled for activation, or is automatically activated, only when the X-ray detector is activated and the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector are suitably positioned relative to one another for the desired measurement.
