Abstract

An x-ray system having a C-arm 1 and an associated method are provided. The x-ray system includes at least one adjustment unit for at least one component of the x-ray system that is actively connected to the C-arm. The at least one adjustment unit compensates for a spatial change in position of the component caused by deformation and/or oscillation of the C-arm.
