Abstract
The invention relates to a radiographic device and method of servoing an X-ray source (800) in a radiography device comprising a MOS-type image sensor (810) with pixels provided with separate read and refreshment commands, respectively, in which, during a radiography operation, read commands of a plurality of image sensor pixels are called repeatedly, while maintaining a source of X-rays power-supplied, so as to establish, in response to each reading, at least one image acquisition characteristic, and in which the emission of X-rays is interrupted when the image acquisition characteristic corresponds to a preset image acquisition characteristic.
