Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining a position for at least one semi-transparent diaphragm during a radiological observation of a body region of a patient by means of a radiological facility, in particular during an observation accompanying an interventional measure, comprising: producing at least one radiological image recording and/or a sequence of image recordings by means of the radiological facility; analyzing the image recording and/or the sequence of image recordings by means of automatic image processing by a computing facility for identifying less absorbent image regions which may be present; and automatically determining the position for the at least one semi-transparent diaphragm as a function of the image analysis result by means of the computing facility.
