The shutter consists of a plurality of individual lamella which lie adjacent each other about the sides of the aperture and can be adjusted individually in a longitudinal direction depending on the size of the object under examination. An X-ray image intensifier and a television camera coupled to it generate a video signal and a monitor reproduces an image of the video signal. An evaluating circuit derives a control signal from the video signal which is applied to a position adjusting device including spring-like elements which can be deflected from an initial position by physical forces for controlling the positioning of each lamella.Other References
