Abstract
X-ray system has an X-ray apparatus on which an X-ray source and an X-ray reception receiver mounted so as to be adjustable relative to an examination subject for registering 2D projections of a region of the subject with subsequent 3D image reconstruction of the region of the subject, the X-ray apparatus carrying transmission and reception devices for acoustic waves or electromagnetic waves for determining projection angles that belong to the individual 2D projections and are required for the 3D image reconstruction, the transmission or the reception devices being co-moved with the X-ray system.
