METHOD FOR OPERATING AN IMAGING X-RAY FACILITY AND IMAGING X-RAY FACILITY

Abstract: a method for operating an imaging x-ray facility is provided. the x-ray facility has an x-ray tube assembly for emitting an x-ray field, with which a fan of light facility for emitting a fan of light, whose extent matches that of the x-ray field, is associated. the method includes covering, by a covering device, an examination object to be exposed to the x-ray field for imaging, for ascertaining and/or representing a distribution of scattered radiation produced by the x-ray field. the method further includes activating the fan of light facility, wherein the covering device at least partially diffusely reflects light of the fan of light on a side of the covering device facing the x-ray tube assembly.
