Abstract

An X-ray examination apparatus and method that provides fast and accurate control of the X-ray dose by combining a fast and inaccurate sensor dose signal for an X-ray sensor and a slow and accurate detector dose signal from an X-ray detector. The combination of the signals takes into account the delay between the two signals so that they are measured at essentially the same time.
