Abstract
An x-ray apparatus has an x-ray source and an x-ray receiver, the x-ray source being adjustable relative to a subject and emitting x-rays in the direction toward the x-ray receiver during the course of radiological exposures of the subject. The x-ray apparatus has an arrangement in the beam path of the x-rays for influencing the shape and/or the intensity profile of the x-ray beam, and this arrangement is dynamically adjustable during radiological exposures of the subject for influencing the shape and/or the intensity profile of the x-rays.
