Abstract
An x-ray diagnostic device has an x-ray source, with a two dimensional detector arranged opposite thereto for detecting x-rays emitted from the x-ray source as a conical x-ray beam, and with a positioning device for an examination subject arranged between the x-ray source and the detector. The x-ray source in tandem with the detector can be rotated in an oscillating manner around a system axis. The x-ray source and the detector, and the positioning device are linearly adjustable relative to one another substantially in the direction of the system axis and a computer reconstructs images of the examination subject from the output signals of the detector occurring thereby.
