ABSTRACT:
An X-ray diagnostic device is for mammography examinations and includes an arm for an X-ray tube and an object table having an image receptor. The X-ray tube is able to emit a radiation field towards the image receptor. Further, an X-ray grid is included, that is introducable into the radiation field, as well as an attachment unit that can be attached to the object table. In order to obtain an X-ray diagnostic unit having an arrangement that eliminates the risk of exposing the patient to be examined to an unnecessarily high dose of X-ray radiation, the object table is provided with a sensing arrangement that is connected to a transport device for the X-ray grid. Upon applying the attachment unit to the object table, the attachment unit actuates the sensing arrangement in such a way that the transport device transports the X-ray grid out of the radiation field.
