Abstract

An X-ray examination apparatus includes an X-ray detector for deriving an image signal from an X-ray image. The X-ray detector has an essentially elongate X-ray-sensitive surface. The X-ray sensitive surface of the X-ray detector corresponds notably to a relevant part of the object to be examined.
