Abstract

A telerecording system for producing x-ray images, having an x-ray image intensifier video chain which includes a semiconductor image converter, has a detector which recognizes blooming in the semiconductor image converter and which given blooming, causes at least two x-ray images of different brightness to be acquired by the semiconductor image converter. One of the images is exposed attenuated in comparison to the other so that no blooming ensues. Image signals from the two x-ray images are then superimposed in a mixer unit and the resulting image is displayed.
