Abstract
The invention concerns an arrangement for electronically detecting an X-ray image, the arrangement comprising a converter (4), in particular a scintillation foil (3). A visible image is generated on the display surface (5) of the scintillation foil (3) by X-rays. At least two mirrors (7) are provided which produce images of segments of the display surface (5). In addition, electronic camera systems (8) are provided for converting the image segments reflected by the mirror (7) into electrical signals. The beam path (9) between the camera systems (8) and mirrors (7) is approximately parallel to the display surface (5).
