Abstract

In radiographic apparatus arranged to investigate a region of a body which can include a moving member, for example the heart of a human patient, means are provided for compensating (at least in part) for the blurring of the radiograph which might be caused by the motion of said member. The motion of the member is monitored and used either to periodically interrupt the irradiation of the body each time the motion becomes too great or enable information which might be confused, due to the motion, to be rejected before the radiograph is produced.
