ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for monitoring an x-ray apparatus. To prevent the application of a harmful x-ray dose, it is proposed in accordance with the invention to compare a distance value indicating a distance between an x-ray source and a surface of a patient with a predetermined mini-mum distance value and to generate a warning signal, if the distance value is smaller than the minimum distance value.
