Apparatus and method for X-ray imaging system with a swingably arranged raster frame

The invention relates to an arrangement for an X-ray system with a swingably arranged raster frame. The arrangement comprises a switching unit with which a grid in the frame (1) inlaid scatter grid (3) can be seen. By the switching unit an X-ray output is triggered at a predeterminable switch-on time only when inserted anti-scatter grid (3). The advantage of the invention that the use of separate switches for detecting an inserted anti-scatter grid (3) and for triggering an X-ray discharge is omitted, and instead a common switching element is used, whereby the manufacturing costs of the X-ray system can be reduced.
