Automatic regulation of a position of an X-ray focus of an X-ray imaging system

In a method for regulating a position of an X-ray focus on the anode of an X-ray source of a scan unit of an X-ray imaging system, a combined actual position of the X-ray focus is determined by a combination of a measured position of the X-ray focus and a model-based position of the X-ray focus, whi...

Zusammenfassung:In a method for regulating a position of an X-ray focus on the anode of an X-ray source of a scan unit of an X-ray imaging system, a combined actual position of the X-ray focus is determined by a combination of a measured position of the X-ray focus and a model-based position of the X-ray focus, which is determined based on a measured value of a deflection current. On the basis of the combined actual position and a target position, a manipulated variable is determined. On the basis of the determined manipulated variable, a regulation is performed to correct a deviation of the position of the X-ray focus from the target position.
