ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and a device for automatic testing of an X-ray system (2). The doors (5a,5b) leading to the room (1) in which the X-ray system (2) is installed are monitored by way of sensors (4a,4b). Furthermore, the state of the room (1) can be monitored by means of further sensors such as video cameras (3). Automatic testing of the X-ray system (2) while utilizing X-rays is started only if and for as long as all doors are closed and the other sensors do not indicate that a safe state is abandoned. The device may also include facilities for automatically positioning a phantom in the beam path. Such facilities may in that case include a phantom which is provided on a flexible foil.
