Abstract

An exemplary embodiment includes at least one x-ray tube for the generation of an x-ray beam, a patient support, an image detector, and a control generator--connected with the x-ray tube and the image detector--for the purpose of moving the x-ray beam, and in opposition thereto, the image field of the image detector. There is connected to the control generator a layer height computer which calculates the enlargement from the geometric data for the tomogram. The image detector has a circuit--connected with the layer height computer--for the purpose of fading-in a marking for the dimensions in the layer plane.
