X-RAY RADIATION SOURCE, COLLIMATOR, RADIOLOGICAL WORKSTATION AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME
The present invention relates to an X-ray radiation source, a collimator (50), a radiological workstation and a method for operating same. According to the invention, a beam shaping diaphragm (57) is provided comprising at least one diaphragm pair, the diaphragm elements (67a, 67b, 67c, 67d) of which are adjustable asymmetrically with respect to a central ray of the X-ray tube. As a result, the X-ray radiation source can be used more flexibly and/or with reduced radiation loading.
