Method and Apparatus for Calibrating a Digital X-ray Radiation Detector

The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus (1) for calibrating a digital X-ray radiation detector (4, 14), which is irradiated with X-rays for creating at least one calibrating image, wherein the calibrating image is linked to an X-ray image recorded with the digital X-ray radiation detector (4, 14) after creating the calibrating image, the X-rays passing a collimator before they impinge on the digital X-ray radiation detector (4, 14) in order to take the X-ray image. In order to provide a method that is improved over the prior art, and an improved apparatus (1) for calibrating a digital X-ray radiation detector (4, 14), by which a high X-ray image quality can be achieved, according to the invention, in order to create the calibrating image, the X-rays are guided through a calibrating element (3, 13) before they impinge on the digital X-ray radiation detector (4, 14), the material of the calibrating element corresponding to that of the collimator.
